One of Scotland's most active centenarians,Lady Morton,has been a driver for nearly 80 years,although she has never taken a driving test.But last week she had her first ever accident-she hit a traffic island when she took her new car for a drive in Edinburgh.
Lady Morton,who celebrated her 100th birthday in July,was dato the Nissan Micra as a surprise present.Yesterday she talked about the accident.'I wasn't going fast,but I hit a traffic island.I couldn't see it,because it had no lights,which I think is ridiculous.But I am all right and luckily my car wasn't badly damaged.'
In spite of the accident,she is not planning to stop driving.'Some people are just born to drive,and I think I am one of them.I've never taken a test,but I've been a good driver since the first time I got in a car.I'm musical,so I listen to the sound of the car to know when to change gear.Some people are very rude-they ask me if I'm still driving at my age.It really annoys me.'
Lady Morton bought her first car in 1927.The main change she has noticed since then is the traffic.'It's appalling.I don't mind it,because I am experienced,but I feel very sorry for the beginners.'

upset
and so many thoughts
circling around
your head,
te try to make
this right,
to find the best way
so te could feel better,
so te could be free.
Pain will never
go away,
it always stays
to remember you
that life is not a dream,
life is unpredictable.
Endless questions,
so many "Why",
but the answer
we will
never find!
The strength within
will not let us crack,
life is unpredictable,
who's to say?
Today you're happy,
and yet
despair waits
stealthily
to engulf you.
But,
te need to be prepared.
Not only bad things
happen to bad people.
Unfortunately,
so many pure,
honored hearts
have been broken for
so many times,
in so many pieces,
and yet
they live,
they live with
their agony,
they live with
their groan,
but they live,
tho their eyes are
always sad,
their hearts are
still softly.
Therefore
they know...
Therefore
they are...
The brightest star
that shines
in the dark,
that spark of hope
for all of us
who deserve better.
When te look at the night sky, what do te see?
In my eyes,
I see the moon as a peaceful spirit,
watching over me.
When te stop and listen to the wind, what do te hear?
In my eyes,
The wind sings to me and tells tales.
When te feel the sun on your back, what do te think?
In my eyes,
The sun reaches out and gives me a warm smile.
When te hear a flowing stream, how does it sound?
In my eyes,
The stream is floating in my cuore and soul, drifting on and on.
When te look at me, what do te see?
In my eyes,
I see an average girl who is silently struggling inside.
But that's all in my eyes.
