So, to the Suitcase of Doom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had a grin plastered on my face all week from memories of the conference. Lots of catching up with old friends done, lots of opportunities to make new ones and get to know those only previously known online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a fantastic weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I could say the same for the journey home. A late taxi and a manic New Street Station with the entire world trying to board our train made it somewhat stressful. Matters weren\u2019t helped by this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d had a dentist\u2019s appointment on Thursday before leaving me feeling pretty poorly. I dragged the first suitcase I came to off the top of the wardrobe (where it had lain gathering dust for over two years) and threw in a fairly random collection of stuff. Ejected the dog and zipped it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either the wheels have seized up due to lack of use or I\u2019ve become much less strong but oh boy, was it difficult to drag along. Unlike the little overnight case I took to London a while back and which was a wheelie superstar, this one quickly earned its nickname, The Suitcase of Doom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make matters worse, my travelling companion, Helena Dixon managed to squeeze the entire <\/em>contents for a weekend away, including a formal dinner, into an unfeasibly teeny rucksack. I\u2019m still not over my indignation!
