Hello, I visited your café yesterday afternoon and left my bag there. It is a small blue bag with a yellow pocket. I was sitting by the window near the door. There is a notebook inside with my name on it. Could you please check whether anyone found it? I can come back tomorrow after work. Thank you for your help. Best wishes, Marta
