Now it gets really expensive
Rubbish - it gets cheaper now! No need to pay for an instructor. You can find a share in something cheap to fly if you want (I now pay about 1/4 of the hourly cost that I used to when I was learning). No reason at all it should get expensive.
Congratulations! You had a beautiful day for it. Was beautiful all weekend. Unfortunately, I spent most of the weekend fixing my car... and until I'd fixed the car, I couldn't get to the airfield, so I missed my chance. But never mind - you passed, and that's the important thing!
