I've got the parcel! Just been looking through. Don't think I've felt like this since I had a stocking on Christmas morning. Will do my best to post it by the weekend RosieMcPosie, will let you know when it's on its way again.

Keep your fingers crossed RosieMcPosie, I managed to get the parcel in the post this morning, so with any luck you'll get it on Monday ;D Though the way the post has been recently, who knows?
Thanks to Natasha for arranging the parcel, and to all who contributed the great seeds I had in my parcel, hope the rest of you have as much fun as I did!

RosieMcPosie,
I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but in real life you are not this gorgeous man from your avatar, are you? It's a very good picture, it makes me love my allotment even more.

Thank you Rosie!  It arrived this morning.  I was painting and had my gloves on so as I couldn't wait I had to get someone else to open it and as I didn't have my glasses I couldn't read the labels - so they had to read them out too.  Wow! what a selection, this is going to be fun, and I'll get it in the post Monday lunchtime.  :) :) :)

In the post this afternoon - winging its way eastwards.  It has been a really fun weekend, looking through the MANY packets of seeds, choosing etc.  It also made me take stock of what I've already got, and I've sorted out my seed box.  Have fun everyone, and thank you Natasha for organising!

Stinking cold.  Train 45 minutes late.  Car frozen so it took ages to clear the windscreen.  I arrived home really fed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our postie sometimes 'hides' packages behind the planters under the porch - today I found the seed parcel from Asbean - it really cheered me up.
There are masses of seed packets to look through - I will have a good look and sort out over the next couple of days and repost the package on Saturday morning (won't get a chance to get to the post office until then as I'm working this week). 
Many thanks to everyone who has added and passed the parcel - especially a huge thanks to Natasha for starting it all off.
I'll confirm when the parcel is actually back in the post again!!

After a great time taking 'pinches' out of packets of seeds and 'adding bits and bobs' the parcel has been posted today from CM7 to CM9.

Again many thanks to all involved.

Regards

Hi Macca,

I'm glad that the parcel finally arrived to your place. The little envelopes are from me to those people who contributed in a previous round. Because I ended up with too many seeds I offered them back to the same players and these people want them, so they are sort of reserved. At that time I felt that it is a fair thing to do. if you look at the previous winter seed swap topic you'll see what was there on offer at the end of the round and who requested what, so that if you really want something from the list you can PM the person who requested the seeds and ask him/her if they are happy to share.

Kind Regards!

Yipe - got it - done my swaps and had loads of fun.  Thanks everyone for the lovely seeds.  A lot of flowers are in there as well.

Off to sarah around the corner now.  Enjoy!
