haven't had ours yet. Maybe they aren't going to send any because they've realised we don't have to pay for a TV license

It is so unfair, all I got was a leaflet about how to wash my hands, some kind of flue or whatever.  I WANT MY SEEDS AND I WANT THEM NOW.  Went for a good walk today, Wood Green to Golders Green, through Alexandra Palace, Highgate Woods, Kenwood House and ended up at Golders Green, and on the way they were digging up all the bulbs (black tulips, I believe) daisies, white and pink, and wallflowers and all free for the taking, just thrown in a big heap and people were helping themselves with permission from the park department.  Came home with a rucksack full of tulip bulbs and daisies.  Will plant at the allotment tomorrow. Not sure I really need them but cannot resist a freebe and my friend and me had a good laugh and got on the tube to come home with all these plants hanging out of our rucksacks.  The man I was talking to said he had replanted the tulip bulbs on a Council owned site (with permission) and as no-one had known or the paper work had been passed on they were all dug up again and thrown on a heap.
