She went for the first time today using their transport. I was envisioning problems but got none!
I rang her an hour before she was due to be picked up to let her know to get ready. She was a bit bothered that I was not going to be there (I think she thinks that I normally stay with her the entire time!) but didn't seem unduly put out. She said she didn't know anybody there, which I reassured her that she did & that she would remember the place when she got there.
I rang the centre at 2ish to see how it had gone & they said she was ready with coat on, bag etc. She has also been more settled today, not asking when I am picking her up straight after lunch. I don't think she ever got distressed but would just ask.
I rang her as she got home & she told me that a nice man & his wife from church? had picked her up & brought her home. She didn't think she'd been to church just in this big room. The man would not accept any money!!
Long may this continue.
