Commute to No Man's Land
11/04/10
On May 21st we are giving train users the opportunity to escape the humdrum of their commute and to escape to No Man's Land. We will arm commuters with a sketch book postcard and a pencil to either chart the No Man's Lands they cross or imagined ones. The postcards will be pre-stamped and addresses and can simply be popped in a postbox to be returned to us and featured here.If this is of interest to you but you will not be traveling on the 21st we are happy to post you out a pack to be completed on a journey or time convenient to you.
