Topic: Asbean's pass the parcel

[asbean]

It's on its way  :) :) :)

Posted this morning to its first destination, a v-e-r-y loooooong way north.  North of the border, in fact.

I have checked and double checked, and these are the names on the list (but not necessarily in that order), I'm sure I haven't left anyone out, I double checked about three times against emails and posts, so I apologise if anyone is missing.

Included is a numbered list, and labels for sending, and also labels for the return address on the back, just in case.  I got a proof of posting, which I think would be wise, not that it would be found if lost, but you never know.

Happy travelling, parcel  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

yippee, well done asbean!

Can someone early on the list PM me their address and I will send my spare seeds to them to add to the parcel, then hopefully tack my name on the end of the list, probably if you are about fourth or fifth it will give me a  chance to get them all bundled up and off on Monday next week....

Thanks asbean, can't wait!

[Squash64]

Thank you so much for organising this, I'm another sad person who is really looking forward to it.  :)

I've never joined in with one of these before, so is the idea that however many packets of seeds you take from the parcel, you replace with the same number of your own?

[ceres]

You can put in or take out as many as you want, doesn't have to be the same.  They don't have to be full packets either - you can take just a pinch or a couple of seeds and reseal the packet.

[manicscousers]

can't wait, either, we got some creamy romanesco last year and they've been fantastic  ;D
hope the post doesn't cause probs :-\

[cheerfulness]

So grateful for asbean for starting ths swap.  :-* Can't wait!

Told my mum about it yesterday and she said she has plenty of seeds I can have to add to the parcel.  ;D 

[Suzanne]

Fantastic  ;D Can't wait.

[grawrc]

It's so exciting!! Thanks Asbean!

[pamsdish]

Do you P.M. the person you are sending to so they know its coming   ???

[grawrc]

They do now!! ;D ;D ;D It's arrived. Wow!!

I've been working all day on Allotment Association stuff so have barely gone downstairs all day. A quick tomato sandwich then back to work.  I've just gone to the front door to get something from my car and there it was - sitting on the table in the porch waiting patiently for me to find it.

It's full of lovely things, so I'll have a good look tonight, pop in a few more, then send it winging on its way tomorrow.

[Digeroo]

Many thanks Asbean.  Looking forward to receiving it.

It's fun to give a cryptic clue as to where you're sending it - and also helpful if you post that it's been received and when sent on, especially in these times of postal strikes etc.

Glad it arrived OK, keep it moving, guys 'n gals  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[grawrc]

You are so  right!! Here is the next recipient:

This fellow with a bladder problem can’t do the distance on the Norwegian national dish so lands on his bum we hear.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Wow Quick off the mark Asbean.

Can we make guesses as to who's next or keep stum?

I think it would be fun to make guesses - and then be proved right or wrong - on this one I'm stumped - uber-cryptic that clue is  ??? ???
