A lovely day out yesterday to Bury St Edmunds and Lavenham. Driver Richard? Pleasant and polite and helpful. Bury is a pretty town mainly due to Abbey and gardens. Personally, it was too long in Lavenham as not much there but very pretty.

We picked up the coach at Maxey Depot. Very pleasant driver who had lots of information to give us on our trip to Aylesham station to go on the little narrow gauge railway to Wroxham. Then onto Horning to go on the Mississippi Steam Boat for a 90 minute cruise on the Norfolk Broads before coming home. A lovely day well recommended.
