Well CityChick, I thought it was about time you had some fun as well, you have done an excellent job with parcels for us now it's your turn.

No, it's not red. but it does have a red label on.

Maybe I should offer a prize to the parcel who gets home first....come on red.

Hi Sutton Girl, the parcel swap that I have organised is already going.What happens is this.

Someone collects names for participants that want to join in,usually a fixed number I had 22 so I split it into two identical parcels,called one red and one blue.They bothe left my home at the same time.

I packed the bag with seeds from my stash.enclosed a list of the folks involved and posted it to number 1 on the list. They open it , choose what they want and replace with seeds of their own, they then send it to number 2, The last name on the list is mine so the parcel gets home.

It is a sharing, give and take sort of honour system. People see things they may not have and take a few seeds etc then add some to the pot to compensate.

CityChick has done 1,2,3,4 and 6 I think and there is another one out there 5 that Norfolklass organised.

It is good fun, no one knows who is next on the list so it is a surprise when it gets there. Hints are dropped of course. I don't know if I will send it again as it it getting late now.

I am sorry you did not see it sooner, it filled up very fast. keep your eyes on the swap spot and you will see it if it goes again.

A PM is a personal message you can send to someone that is not seen by anyone else. To sne d PM, click on the persons picture and a screen will come up, scroll to the bottom and it will give you three options ,one is send a personal message. Write your message there and it is private to you and that person. If you receive one thete is a place to answer ehich is laso private. I will send you one.

Red Parcel has arrived with me. Big thanks to Jeannine and no 1 on list Lisa. Haven't even looked at what's there, but on weight and number of packets alone it is a Weritable Corn-u-copia

Thanks again

Next stop, going for a Burton

Hi Jeannine and 'red parcelers' - I'm just flagging up that my computor is being collected for repairs this Wed (dont know why - OH can't access photos that he's got stored on external hard drives or something ???) so if the seeds land with me after anytime soon after Tuesday, I may not be able to post to give you an update on progress or where they're going next :( If so, I'll get them back in the post asap with a note asking the next in line to say thanks for me.

Cheers ;D

Jeannine · « **Reply #15 on:** April 07, 2007, 16:17:22 »

Thanks for letting us know , it is a real help knowing where it is going,hope you are back online soon XX Jeannine

Rhubarb Thrasher · « **Reply #16 on:** April 07, 2007, 17:44:28 »

I didn't make the lunchtime post today (Sat), so red parcel will go by first next post, which I suppose is Tuesday a.m. Post Office isn't open on the Bank Holiday??? Next person on list is in lovely Christchurch, ah The Ship Inn, what a (disgraceful) place!

Jeannine · « **Reply #17 on:** April 07, 2007, 18:23:09 »
