The parcel arrived safely - although slightly battered. Have now given it a nice new envelope and it should last a couple more journeys.

Many thanks to CityChick for organising it and the others A4A members who so generously swap/give seed so that others who would not normally try certain seeds get a chance to give it a go.

Anyway... the parcel is on its way to a very flat part of the country renown for its sausage and Haslet.... ;D ;D

safely arrived this morning in 'Sausage and Hazlet' country.

What's this 'very flat part of the country' ??? ..... we live in a Mountain Range (relatively) 55 metres above sea level, makes your head spin ;D
the 'flat' bits are South of here.

Will rummage the parcel and get it on it's way on Monday ... hope you all have a great weekend

Parcel received this morning ;D

Very happy bunny, sorting through the millions of seeds inside.

All things being equal, it will be on it's way to Norwich on Monday.

Do we have an update on the progress of Parcel 6? ???

I'm waiting patiently... :-[...just thought I'd bump the thread! :)

CityChick · « **Reply #29 on:** April 28, 2007, 10:07:16 »

I've checked who it went to after blisters (sorry creckless, not you just yet). All I know is they haven't been logged in since 24th...

norfolklass · « **Reply #30 on:** May 01, 2007, 13:40:53 »

sorry folks, have been on holiday so haven't been anywhere near a computer (bliss!)
the parcel was waiting for me on my desk when I got in this morning – will have a good old rootle through it this evening and get it back in the post tomorrow.

I'll be 'poynt'ing it on its way to someone daring and adventurous ;D

norfolklass · « **Reply #31 on:** May 02, 2007, 15:55:44 »

finally finishing rootling at 12:30 this morning (OH was watching Liverpool win (hurray!) so didn't even notice the enormous piles of seeds on the floor ::))

just got back from the post office so it should arrive with the next swapper tomorrow or Friday.
thanks again CityChick ;D

Super! Just a couple more people to visit then and its coming home... ;D

;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D

The parcel has arrived!!!!

WOW! :o

Its massive!

Such an amazing variety and quantity of seeds to sort through. Will get on with the job....and add my spares....then send it off to the town where Elton John can often be found admiring the talents of 11 men :o ;)

Wow, all this pass the parcel sounds so much fun, what a great idea! We've moved our family to Denmark (from Southampton) a couple of months ago now, and I hadn't really had time to miss England until I went on "Allotments 4 All" just now. :'(
Maye I should find some Danish gardeners to start a "pass the parcel" with. I'm looking forward to seeing how my seeds from Southampton fare in windy Denmark...

Just to say, although the parcel has long been and gone from Camden Town, I've been offline for some time, so a huge thank you to City Chick for all the hard work and effort!

Mikey, I took some cardoons too, they were from the Reaseheath College.

http://www.reaseheath.ac.uk

For me, there are three great things about this whole idea:

First, the chance to try something new - for instance, I was toying with the idea of getting some cardoons and runner beans but wasn't sure, and now I have the chance to give 'em a go.

Second, the (rather scary!) level of excitement and anticipation waiting for that parcel to arrive. Not to mention the thrill of sorting through what seems like hundreds of packs in all shapes and sizes. It brings out the big kid in all of us!

Third, the trust in each other to give and take. Even though we don't know each other and might never meet

We're not such a bad bunch really, are we? (blimey, fetch the Kleenex!)

;D

Well done Amazin, your post is really important I think they are super comments, especially the last one, Trust is fast vanishing from this world sadly and here it is very much in evidence.

I agree we are a great bunch.........no Kleenex, bog roll for me XXX Jeannine

Amazin,

thanks for the info, always nice to know the origins

Re PTP's .... agree 100% with you, great fun and somehow we seem to get to know each other better.
I'm sure the trust and sharing bit, plays a large part, the idea would fail if just one person 'did a runner with the loot'

I love to read the comments on each parcel's progress, child Phsyciatrists would have something to say about us all ;) ;D

Many thanks to the respective organisers, to the contributors and the nutters who are biting their nails in anticipation ....

Mikey

PS and thanks to all of our 'Posties'
