AN EMBROIDERER says she is "grieving" after 10 years of her work was stolen.

Twenty pieces of embroidery are missing after thieves stole Eleanor Woodward's car.

It was parked outside her house in Rodway Road, Bromley.

She says her dark green Volkswagen Golf is not important to her but she is desperate to get the embroidery back because it is for her City and Guilds course.

The 63-year-old said: "I'm just grieving for all those bits.

"I'm hoping against hope I will get them back. I am distraught."

She added: "They are just irreplaceable and would be no good to anyone else."

The items are in a brown cardboard box which has a lid on.

Anyone who has information regarding the whereabouts of the stolen embroidered items should call Ms Woodward on 07796 377372.
