Today we decided to re-visit Bury. We asked Matthew where he wanted to go today and he chose Bury. Research for the trip consisted of looking at past Blogs to see where we had eaten recently, Looking at the Bee Network bus tickets and to check the weather, which was forecast for dry weather with some sunshine. Matthew woke up at 08:00 and had his medication. Matthew got up around 10:00 and had toast for breakfast. We got ready to go out and we set off around 11:30.
