BUMP..I still haven't opened this.

[Emagggie]

 In the words of Michael Miles 'Open the box!'  ;D ;D

[Jeannine]

Hi, heard from Flowerlady who had changed the box and it seemed right but the brown paper was torn so I opened it to replace the paper, inside was not a washing powder box which she said she had used so I opened it..not the seeds, it is a purchase off e bay that came every early.

So it is still on it's way.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D....all that anticipation gone to waste. ;D

[Jeannine]

Hi, the parcel arrived today..another calamity though.

The beautiful packing job that Flowerlady did was ruined, it looked like it had been run over, the  box was all broken and it was very dirty, came in a big plastic bag from the post office, damaged.I could see that it started out with lovely new paper on it so I guess they did something to it.

I don't know if we can do anything about  a disaster en route, I guess we should be happy it made it home.

Anyway I have no means of knowing what was in it  or if anything is missing but it is still heavy , I have fed it a bit  more and am sending it out again tomorrow.

It is in  a pretty shabby bubble envelope as I didn't have another one and wanted to get it going first thing but it is secure.

Clue  was not very easy but here goes!!

it is going to a town that sounds like.................

French Fries and Bacon

Ooooooh, it arrived today  ;D ;D ;D ;D

And what riches there are Jeanine, thank you!

I'll pop it in the post tomorrow - I'll see what I can do re wrapping it up again. You'd wrapped it so well I'm afraid the bubble envelope is no more. Should I send it back to you, or do you want to PM me with who's next on the list?

[VP]

Here's a joke for you to follow on from your last clue:

Why do Wiltshire people like spuds so much?

Because they have Devizes (devices) for Chippenham (chipping 'em) ::)


Perhaps it's the way I tell 'em  :-\

[Jeannine]

That is smashing,boom boom.

I will Pm you later tonight with the next name.

Great! I think I may have some packets of seeds that are about to go out of date (mainly flowers). I'll put those in as well as my pukka swapsies, so if anyone wants to use them for e.g. school projects, they're welcome to do so...

[Jeannine]

That would be super VP, I am sure someone will use them.



Next clue , ??? not going to give you one  :-X

Leaves the post singing ;D ;D

We'll keep a welcome in the hillside ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Oooh, oooh, ooooh. Is it off to taffyland? ;D ;D ;D

Now, if only I knew if I were the only taffy in the swap , then I'd know it was for me ;D ;D ;D
