Spandangled

welcome both to A4A .... beware of seed swaps ... you will be addicted before you can say germinate ;D ;D

It's bad enough everytime I go see my family in Grimsby! My grandfather has a 300 foot long garden full of treasures he won't let me 'borrow' bits of.

Though last time I went I acquired a nice little bay tree.

Ok Guys and Dolls

I have eventually dug myself out of London and the snow - it was absolutely terrible. :-\Everything came to a grinding halt - needless to say my course was cancelled so I spent Monday and Tuesday holed up in a hotel room. My sewing was finished by early afternoon on Monday and then I watched the telly and popped out now and then to see what was happening on the streets of the Capital. Not too far though - just out the hotel door onto the pavement and across the street to take pictures. I was glad that I was not booked onto a train to get back to Bournemouth on Tuesday night but managed to get out by bus. So I am safely home and not a snowflake to be seen!! Gnash, Gnash, and I so did want to lob dear hubby with one ;D ;D

Anyway, down to the serious business of seed swap. :o I now have enough names and have gone through my seed stash and have a nice, heatlhy envelope of seed that will be winging its way tomorrow. There is also some flower seeds that I thought peeps might like. I have also included some seed that have only just expired (not carrot, parsnip that does not have a long life), for anyone who wants to try it. Help yourself. The list is as follows :

Cheerfulness; thifasmom, Jayb, Littlebabybird, Mike McCoy, Susiebelle, Twirlie, Triffid, Purple Sprouting, Anemone, Spandangled, Molly44 (still awaiting address); Glosterwomble, Star

The first two are in that order, but then it is random. Have fun and hopefully you can try some seed that you would not normally have bought a whole packet of. Let us know when you receive it and when it goes out - you can add riddles to the peeps so they can guess the parcel's destination

Regards

Jitterbug

Yes Mikey... but it's cheaper than a true "Seed" catalogue addiction... ;D

I'm sure I don't know what you mean ;D

cheerfulness · « **Reply #24 on:** February 06, 2009, 10:43:51 »

Yippee, I'm so excited this is underway!

I've a totally legitimate excuse now to ignore the housework and go through my seeds (yet again) to find some more goodies to add to the swap. ;D

Glad you made it back ok Jitterbug but how on earth have you avoided the snow at home? Most of us are knee deep in the stuff.

glosterwomble · « **Reply #25 on:** February 06, 2009, 15:12:09 »

Hoooooooooooray!!!! I'm on the list!!! NOW I'm excited ;D

triffid · « **Reply #26 on:** February 06, 2009, 20:45:15 »

Great excitement. ;D

*does the happy dance*

The parcel is on its way.... have fun and hope you find something in it that you all like. Could not find my saved sweetpea seeds from last year. Mmmhh wonder where I stashed it...

Whoooppee -its here! Postie just delivered it and looking relieved to off load that heavy weight. WOW its a lovely parcel! ;D

Made a pot of coffee and am going to enjoy this. ;D ;D

Don't worry, I won't take forever and will get it on the move again ASAP. ;)

spandangled · « **Reply #29 on:** February 09, 2009, 13:11:16 »

Aww that's a shame about the trip! A friend of mine got stuck in Croydon, couldn't get back to Euston for the knee high snow. We don't have any :( least I can get in my garden though.

I'm dead excited now ;D

cheerfulness · « **Reply #30 on:** February 11, 2009, 16:38:09 »

thifasmom, watch out for the postie.... it's on it's way! ;D

Jitterbug · « **Reply #31 on:** February 11, 2009, 19:03:25 »

Glad to see that you are enjoying yourself. Still looking for those sweet pea seeds. Gnash! I am sure its in the greenhouse on the lottie - will pop down on the week-end and see if I can find them.

thifasmom · « **Reply #32 on:** February 11, 2009, 21:01:11 »

will keep my eyes peeled ;D

thifasmom · « **Reply #33 on:** February 13, 2009, 20:30:43 »

It has arrived and what a package, such a mix of seeds and varieties ;D. i took what i liked and replaced with my extras and don't likes ;). it will be back in the post tomorrow.

thanks Jitterbug for arranging.

cheerfulness · « **Reply #34 on:** February 13, 2009, 21:47:21 »

What a relief that it made it to you safely. Didn't realise how responsible I'd feel while I was waiting for it to get to you. :)

I noticed your photobucket link, too, thifasmum. Oh my, didn't you do well! Everything looks wonderful. ;D

thifasmom · « **Reply #35 on:** February 13, 2009, 23:00:27 »

yes the swaps are great fun but you feel all hot bothered till it gets to the next destination. i always breath a sigh of relief when it touches down safely.

i forgot to post a clue concerning the package's next destination.

so here it is:

thanks, last year was very good to me :)

Jayb · « **Reply #36 on:** February 16, 2009, 16:40:16 »

oooh its on the way to Twirlie- I think!!! ;D

glosterwomble · « **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:26:47 »

Has it got lost? ???

cheerfulness · « **Reply #38 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:46:07 »

What a pity if it has as there was a lovely selection of seeds in it.

Twirlie hasn't been active on here since 5 Feb and I'm wondering if Jitterbug is away as she hasn't been on since the 11 Feb. ???

I'm sure she'll be back soon. ;)

thifasmom · « **Reply #39 on:** February 22, 2009, 13:51:41 »

oh dear i didn't realise this hasn't registered as arriving as yet, i posted it since the 14th a Saturday morning. hopefully it has arrived and simply was not posted back out yet, our A4A names are not on the list just our proper names and addys so i am also assuming it was going to Twirlie unless there is someone else based in Clitheroe ???.
