I hope so, and I am expecting it to, it was very well packed so it couldn't burst open and  the names were in big letters, my return address was in red and was very clear and the whole thing was covered on clear shire seal so the labels could not fall off, really odd.

Anyway no sweat we are off again, it is big parcel with loads of stuff in it so I think you will be happy.

Have you figured out who is first  yet,we need to get some fun in this one now and forget the disappointment,

I am absolutely hopeless at clues - if I was a detective I think detection rates would less than zero as also a sucker for a sob story. The paler shade of red i agree is pink - but haven't a clue on the "somesuch" place, which i kinda think is going to be important in solving this.  :-\ ??? and double  ???

Well done Doris!! but don't grab the postman on Monday, it is more likely to be Tuesday.

By the way this will not go through a letterbox, as I said with the first one I have really tried to make it interesting and it is stuffed, and it  is travelling in a shoebox, too much for a padded envelope,the postage is going to be a bit more  than any I have sent out before though but please PM me if that is a concern to anyone.

I might send it out again when it gets home,if not any left overs will be donated to school gardening clubs,or the Mental Health ass. who have lotties, so anything you put in will be gratefully received by someone.

This is one good box, I even added to it this morning, if I don't get it in the post it will need a forklift.LOL

Let me know as soon as it arrives so I can give you the name and address of the next recipient.

It has left Hull fron ASDA post office this morning, I have sent it first class which was not cheap but I wanted it to get off to a good start, it is too big to go second class, but I suggest that others send it parcel post which will cost £4 20  There are many verieties of beans in there so the weight is up, but as people take them the weight should go down. the other ones i have sent have been at most just over £3, so PLEASE if anyone has a problem with this please PM me.It will take a bit longer to go around but I think it is worth it.

Well............it is here!!! ;D ;D
And what can I say...Jeannine, WOW :o :o  Never had such a tempting/ different selection in a PTP! So exciting  ;D ;D ;D
Postie must have known I was going to jump him, cos he left it on my doorstep and ran! ;) ;D ;D
Am just finishing going through it all,(thought had better post it had arrived safely) taking little bits of this n that, had youngest daughter off school ill, so she helped. She was fascinated by the bean colours, which for a 15 year old was great to see.
Will go through my own seeds this afternoon to add, am too adding beans, so will post what it costs to send when I get it weighed, so the rest of you have  a rough idea.
THANK YOU Jeannine, this is great great fun! :-* :-*

Oh good I feel better now, I was quite nervous. I am glad you liked it, I tried to really stuff  it but sadly it doesn't have the same amount of toms in that the first one had as I had packed it with such a lot of varieties in there, but on the other side this one got more beans as they arrived after the first one left.

Watch for the next clue, I will let Doris Pinks know who to send it to right now.

I'm terrible at cryptics.
But I liked to thank you for everything you do to keep this parcel going. So much energy and time. And I think that in the background you can hear everybody repeat after me:
Jeannine, you're a gem! :-*
