We walked through to the bus station and we saw First Eastern Counties 37569 on a X2 to Lowestoft. We waited for a bus back towards Peterborough. A short time later we saw First Eastern Counties 33808 on a XL to Peterborough. We got on the bus and we flashed the ticket to the driver for the final time today before we went upstairs and sat down. The bus set off out of the bus station and we travelled Westwards out of town. We joined the A47 and we ran through Swaffham. We continued along the A47 and we ran into Kings Lynn and into the bus station. After a short waited we left the bus station and went Westwards out of town. We re-joined the A47 and we ran through Wisbech and into Peterborough. We got into town and we ran to the Queensgate Interchange where we got up and got off the bus. Once off the bus we walked to the car park and we drove Westwards out of town. Matthew had a bottle of Irn Bru and a sausage roll. We got on the Westbound A47 just outside of Peterborough. We continued to the edge Leicester and we took the Southern by-pass. We past Fosse Park and we joined the Northbound M1. We ran North for around 20 miles and we got onto the Westbound A50. We ran to near to Uttoxeter and into Stoke-on-Trent. We came off the A50 at Heron Cross and we turned right onto Blurton Road. We ran through Heron Cross onto Heron Street and we followed the road around onto Station Bridge Road. We turned left onto Christchurch street and left again onto Masterson Street. We turned right onto Watkin Street and right onto Temple Street and back to the residential unit. For a late tea Matthew had a chicken burger from kfc. He also had some fries and a cup of Coke. Matthew went up to his room and chilled out on his computer. Later on Matthew had a bath and then had toast for supper. He then chilled out in his room until bedtime around 23:00... Mark.
