Not to worry in the least little bit ... Oh dear poor you ... it's far more important that you are now better and fully recovered!

Anyway ...  wonders never cease ... last night at 8 P.M. :o door bell went and I saw postie van driving away!!!  Postie had dropped a parcel on the mat, rung the bell, and legged it !!!!  ??? ::) ;D

So ... it will be on it's way again tomorrow ... in the direction of Essex  ;)

Just to let you all know that the seed swap parcel arrived in Essex this morning - what a lovely selection.
I'll look through and post it on by the weekend at the latest.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed.

Hi - lots of fun, really enjoyed the seed swap.

Posted the package last week - Imagine my surprise when it was returned to me today as 'damaged - returned to sender' as the delivery address had been (removed???? - no idea looked like water damage to me - seeds OK though!!!). 

Package now on it's way (for a second time) to Rosyred.

Again many many thanks

Ann

What else to do when it's dark and rainy ;), just I'm not sure what I'll get at the end of this round and that I'll have enough seeds to start a new parcel, but I hope I'll have lots to spare.

Dear All!
The parcel arrived 10 min. ago and there is such a lovely choice of everything, I'm really greatfull to all of you for taking part. It's been a journey, but it was fun to watch the package travelling from one location to another and a couple of times I thought it was lost and we'll never see it again, but here we are at the end of the round.

I have to sort out the arrived seeds over the weekend and I'll offer the spare ones next week in this topic, so that people who took part in playing and missed on something can pick what they want. I'll put these ones in the next parcel with a note that it is for you. Seeds unwanted by the "pass the parcel" players will be offered in the main area of the swap shop may be in 10 days.  I hope that this way we'll avoid circulating unwanted seeds from this round in the new one.
As for the new round of "pass the parcel" I'll be happy to start it, players welcome, just give me a bit of time to clarify what we do with the spares from this round.

Again many many thanks!
