I sent the parcel on last Thursday, sorry but I forget now who it was sent to as they are real names on the list not our A4A nicknames. It was number 6 on the list though.

Hi Susiebelle, I sent it to a man I thought so it must have gone to someone before you so I don't think it has been held up just not reported on here when it has arrived to somebody.

Just now I heard the doorbell ring;
My postie, with a cheerful grin.
"Morning, love ... D'you know this 'un?
'To Mr Triffid'... but that's your address on."

So now I've brewed a mug of tea
And opened up a treasury
Of future flowers, and veg to come
(If we get both rain AND sun).  ::)
 
I've picked some beans -- and toms the kids'll eat;
Verbena too, to give the bees a treat.
And now am adding treasures to the store...
Fave veg, flowers, herbs and more.

This Jiffy bag is beaten up; I'll find a better one.
This afternoon, I'll send it on its way.
Large packet, first class: that sounds fine.
Who's next? Ah, here's it is: the next one's number nine.

So here's a clue to where it's going...
A city known for "dreaming spires" and rowing!


Please excuse the doggerel verse.
I only meant to do the clue --
But rhymes arrived and this just grew:
I'll stop right now, to save you worse.
 ;D :-[ ;D

Just confirming that the Jitterbug Seed Swap is on the move again. :) With luck, it may even reach its next stop tomorrow. 
Jitterbug, your inbox is full, so I couldn't send you a PM.

Marvellous news Anemone.  And a weight off my mind, now it's safely arrived. ;D
It's a lovely collection, isn't it?

Yes really lovely :)


Sorry everyone, I missed the PO Saturday (closed at 12) and obviously it wasn't open yesterday. The parcel has been sent off today though :) I'm not as talented as triffid so won't attempt any verses, the parcel would probably arrive before I'd managed line one!

Never mind the verses, Anemone, but do give us a clue as to where the parcel's off to next.  :)

Trying to work out who the parcel's on its way to now...

Who's still waiting? Jayb, Littlebabybird, Mike McCoy, Molly44 and Star, I think.
Nope, I'm none the wiser...   :)

Sent out on Tuesday... just wondering if the parcel's arrived at the next stop yet?
Still wondering where its destination was...
Hen-don? Brecon Beak-ons?  ::)

Oh dear. Easier clue - place name is also a breed of chicken begining with 'O'.
