An early call from Blackburn and other messages

Snow falls across the country. An early call from Saj at Tristar Printers in Blackburn. Their courier service didn't work yesterday due to the snow. Saj lives a five minute drive away from the factory but it took him 40 minutes yesterday. So our A3 card leaflets to accompany I Packed This Myself won't be delivered to Chenderit School until Thursday.
But Chenderit proves to be closed today, anyway. And to judge from the weather forecast, possibly tomorrow too.
Have a meeting with Hannah Walker to discuss developing the Education Pack.
And Jack Seal in Cornwall has been admirably active on the phone. Jack is a 3D design student at University College Falmouth and a whirlwind of energy. He created a brilliant suitcase for I Packed This Myself when it opened in Camborne (see this Guardian gallery) and arrived at the private view straight from the beach where he had been surfing ( I remember). He has tracked down a printer who might be able to print our new suitcases with maps of metaphorical journeys on to corrugated plastic. Excellent.
