Yes Please on the cryptic front!  ;D ;D  Though I haven't got a clue who it is going to first!

Well the consensus is to keep it a mystery so  we will do that. First person should have it today or tomorrow so please leave a clue here when you post it on but no details about who!!

Have fun and don't forget to let me know XX Jeannine

It is, I was trying to keep it a guessing game!!  I thought the clue was pretty good I put on at the beginning of the week. ;D Anyway maybe the mail is taking a bit longer for some reason,I won't worry if the last one took 11 days, maybe something up in the mail in that area.XX Jeannine

OOh I can't wait - liked the first clue, but was clueless on who it was. Glad Tom fessed up!

Thanks again Jeanine. Already had a conversation with Glosterwomble on his blog about the swap - he's in another one and envious of the fun you've added to ours!  8)
Best wishes,

VP

What Fun has been added ?

I did not get the first clue, then Tom fessed up .......... and I still don't get it

Senior moments are becoming more frequent just lately  ;D

My excuse is it's the medication I'm on  ;) ;D

Please please will someone explain 'Toms' clue

Go to Tom's profile.
Mr YOUNGER lives near MONKseaton, think that's what it refers to!  ;)

We have some very clever folks on here, I thought the clue was going to be hard!!

Come to think of it there are some blooming cheeky ones too, still I suppose if your meds are out of whack and senior moments are frequent we have to be tolerant...bless.

Where did I put that gaffer tape.

Yep I sure am!!! I've just been involved in the swap that Natasha organised and it was great, I'd never done one before. I felt like a kid receiving a Christmas present!

I love the extra twist you have put on yours to keep people guessing.

Have fun.  ;D

Just to get you all going more, I have really tried to make this one very interesting, it has some very rare toms and beans in. I have been watching the chats from the last while and have tried wherever possible to pop in some that are rare or hard to find. Some are last years seed and some are this, just received. Some are new to me so am hoping we can share together. There are a few packets that are clearly  marked..PLEASE SHARE.. especially the Gigandes and Tarbais beans as I wanted to make sure everyone on the list got a few, the same with some of the squash. Oh and there are several varieties of this years Okra in so am hoping many of you will join the hilarious Okra challenge.

It has always been a lot of fun before when I have done these, epsecially the two I sent out together and we had a race to see whose came back first..Go Red.Go Blue..

So keep the chat coming, it brightens the days.

As for you Mikey... I will have to think of something special to pack your stuff in the next time I send anything.. crazy glue maybe.

Shucks, I have just posted beans too..

I think I still owe you a tomato though..

Why are you so cruel to an 'old' man on medication  ;)
Crazy glue indeed .......
I have enough trials and tribulations with common Sellotape (and Crisp packets), Gaffer tape, a whole Norske Saga could be written, but Crazy glue .......  Nooooooo  Noooooooo please spare me this

May all your germinations be a success Oh mighty one .....
(methinks I need to brush up on my Grovel technique - lessons from Alishka maybe ?)

Anyway, back to topic .... let's have a bit more respect for 'our' (your) elders, in years on this Planet I am ahead of you, so .... simply put, I must be smarter and entitled to courtesy and deference (and no Bl**dy' Gaffer tape or Crazy Glue)
