Today I left art work on the train home . Carry as little about as possible is the learning from this dreadful experience. Fabric photos and smocking rolled up in a plastic tube with a screw top lid. The system for lost luggage is dreadful. It is impossible to talk to anyone who might be able to intercept the luggage enroute! Once I left a suitcase full of work on a train, a sacking offence I think! Swift action by station staff meant that it was returned to me within an hour. This time due to the national contract with the private sector and its restrictive contract no one could be raised who could talk to the train staff.

Update 1st June – art work still not returned! Who would want to keep these personal items, pictures of my family home? Thank goodness for photographs.
