If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

i just heard on the radio that the post is on strike from midnight again tonight so the parcel may take a while to get back. i was part of this parcel early on and have really enjoyed following its progress and everyone getting excited about it.  i felt like i wanted to be like on one of those old fashioned school photos where the exposure took so long you could run from one end of the line to the other and be inthe frame twice.  maybe if its still bulging at the seams biscombe could split it in two and start it off again? just an idea. someone in another parcel thread auggested an ever lasting seed parcel, a bit farfetched maybe but a lovely idea; we could see how long we can keep it going.

Sounds like it was delivered to a neighbour rather than the postman?

Pfoe...... I hope that it will THE parcel. The postman told me that it would take about 14 days from the Netherlands to Spain. S It went to the post at the 8 of Aug . More or less he was right than....... Hope you will be happy with the box Rosie......
