the parcel has been posted, and yes it's on it's way to you Julie, huge apologies of the delay it arrived to me a week later than expected and by then I was well into the schools Christmas countdown (play, hampers, collections, cake making, etc, etc.!) I put some lovely stuff in so I hope it's worth the wait!  :-*

glad it arrived, apologies for the delay, we're not all perfect... but I'm sure it will get all the way round long before it's time to actually sow anything!

Decided to give myself a turn.  I send out a large package filled with goodies and received a very small packet containing a few interesting things.

Some of the seeds are out of date, some dipped in grease, and a few little gems.

It was repacked in one of the envelopes that I had orgininally put seed in inside a much much bigger one.

This was supposed to be a seed swap not a seed grabbing exercise.  Yes I got a lot of them at 50p a packet but....

Not sure I think that there is any point in continuing.  Feel a bit deflated to say the least.  I feel too embarrassed to post it on.

I must say that I thought what came my way was very interesting.  Lots of flowers and vegetable seeds,  some I had no clue as to what they were as their latin names were written on labels and nothing else whilst others were run of the mill seeds but nevertheless seeds.  I have no clue as to what  envelope you are talking about but I posted it back out in a grey plastic mailing bag. 
Hope that you'll reconsider sending parcel back out.
Julie
Merry Christmas All

Please reconsider sending it on. A smaller package is miles better than no package :)

I can probably post it out on Friday (works xmas do tonight, can't imagine I'll remember it either when I get home tonight or tomorrow morning :D)..... there's a fiar old bit of stuff there including exoticish tomatoes and whacky beans, giant pumpkins etc....

d**n Digeroo - was looking forward to sharing a few and getting a few surprises back.
Rules seem pretty sensible to me..
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

Sounds as though some miserable so-and-so has cheated!

Sorry to hear things have gone askew  >:( I know how much I enjoy receiving swap parcels.
