Well nobody else got the second clue either although Digeroo came close  ............. I'll leave it for the time being if anybody wants a go.

Lets hope the parcel gets to Lottie Lou quickly.  Way to go,  Goodlife!   :blob7:

Off today to a fruity relative

Sorry I am not very good at doing cryptic clues.  In fact today found myself squashing down the seed parcel to try to get it under 2kg (don't ask .......oooooh my poor brain)

Okay,I've posted it off to the next person. Living next door to the Leadbetters?

The weight of the parcel went over the 2000g limit, probably because I added a few 'heavy' seeds — peas and such. I had to resort to some weight reduction — removing outer envelopes from seeds, stripping previous layers of selotape from the box, etc. to get it down.

Thanks Ian. Sorry there wasn't much space, I thought it would get lighter as it went around. Perhaps the next person could take a few extra seeds out to make a little room, I'll send a pm to....?
