Jitterbug- still waiting for your address before i can get the package on its way!
Take what you want, add back equivilant.
i will add a paper sheet with the details of the next person, (same as the toms tomato swap), cross your name off and send it to the next person.
Most of all, have fun and hope you all enjoy it!!
Sarah.
Well the parcel will leave today! i will send it onto jitterbug after my turn right at the end!
o.k do you want a clue to where its going to?
"The North's spiritual capital"
enjoy it!
That has to be York!! :D
Angel of the North- Newcastle ?
But York is well known as the spiritual town of the north :D
Yay, you are right its York, sweet pea expect a parcel soon!!
Wohoo, it's just arrived this morning :-) Will let you know when it's winging it's way to the next lucky recipient.

Forgot to say that I've just ordered some more seed from Franchi so I'll wait till it arrives before posting it on so I can add more to the packet. Hope that is ok... I wasn't expecting to be the first recipient so thought the seeds would have arrived well before I received the parcel ::)
Yes hopefully, we can build up more seeds and send it around again!!
Have decided that waiting for my seeds to arrive may take a while, and checking last night, I have enough packets to add so I shall be posting the parcel on to the next lucky recipient on Monday.
So were is it heading next I hear you ask?
Well it's off to get a little tipsy on cider ;D
SP x
Might that be cider and beef ?
Not sure whether to answer yes or no to that one as not sure where 'cider and beef' might be ::)
Also home of the Mappa Mundi and Super Army Soldiers!
I'm afraid that's not where it's heading, although I see why you might think so. There is somewhere else well known for it's cider :-)
Off to post the parcel now :D

Just realised you're in Hereford MR, sorry but you're going to have to wait a while longer!
Cornwall?
Nope, afraid not, try again...
Somerset
Well done Jeanine!
Sunny Somerset! Arrived this morning should be winging its way on Saturday to the other cider county! Yes M R I believe it is you! Although I haven't got the list in the office at work!
Lovely selection - I am afraid being new to Franchi seeds do not have a huge selection but will add to parcel and send on!
Thanks Clare for organising! and thanks Sweet Pea for forwarding to me!
HOW EXCITING ... this is my first seed swap!
Old Bird!!
Sorry MR - No it isn't you but it will be winging its way tonight to a place close to London Town with Wiltshire in the address!
Old Bird
Oooh oooh oooh, is it me, is it me, is it me?
Weed-Digga
YES IT WAS!!!! :) :)
Collected parcel from PO today, will have a rummage and top it up and post it on tomorrow
Weed-Digga
Any clues,not that i'll get it!
I think that I just received the parcel but there are other sorts of seed brands in the parcel - not just Franchi - is this OK?
If so, I will have a rummage and put back in mail on MOnday. Nothing like a bit of seed porn on a rainy week-end! :o ;D ;D
Regards
Jitterbug
Yes its o.k for those who havnt got Franchi i suppose ::) ::) ::) ::)
Just joking!!! the more seed the merrier!
No, not you Jitterbug, that must be another one. The Franchi seed swap has gone off to a little bird living in a metropolis.
Weed-Digga
Cheep, cheep??
Oh yes indeed, Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, City Chick!!
Weed-Digga
Oooo, exciting!! (http://www.cyberhounds.com/chickens/images/yippee.gif)
Woo Hoo!! The parcel has landed. Off to drool....but not on the seeds, of course!! ;D
Glad it arrived safe and sound!!
Weed-Digga
Great selection - thanks to all for organising and contributing :)
Back on its travels... heading south from Milton Keynes to Mr Greens 8)
Im near Milton Keynes, and also Springboks where green, but I guess I am wrong :D
Nope, sorry, not you...
It looks like we are going down the list on page one!
Guys, the parcel has arrived yippee.
But I for one don't get [my] clue. Mr Green 8) ???
Sorry for the confusion, I thought the clue went with your surname?
Glad the parcel arrived safely - have fun :)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - now I get it.
and don't worry the clues are fun and for fun - I like them.
Regards
Riffster...
Any news on the parcel??
Guys the parcel is on its way again.
Its going to a "once great expo site" in North Metropolis Land.
Any news?
we are not half way through yet, the parcel has been to five people since march 12th, any chance, without being too bossy ;D that we can move things on a bit, so that those at the bottom of the list can have a few seeds before the growing season ends!!!! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
it can go around again after!! cheers Sarah.
Not that I'm involved with this, but looking at the dates does seem rather odd.
Surely if you are pre-warned its coming to you, its not too much to expect that compost pots etc would be at the ready pinch of seed from each you want, readdress the envelope that evening and post at work the next day.
Should have been on its second circle now if that was the case
well i dont like to be pushy, because im not really like that ;D, but, postie can take a while and we had a bank holiday too which would delay things a bit!
hey, thank the lord!! has it just arrived from Allipally?
great stuff, its been around an extra person then, thats what the delay was!
Now that sounds hopeful !! :-\ ;D
Any clues Toms ?
;D ;D ;D ... the post just arrived :D ... oh I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO like post!! :D
I had things all ready so will be back in the post later today ;) ... off to the land of the lovely brown and white cows ;D
Where are there brown and white cows? Or is that a clue?
Just being nosey!
Old Bird :D
Here I think!Hereford.
Thanks you lot for getting it moved on quickly!! ;) ;) ;) ;)
Thanks Flower Lady ,what a treat thanks all .
The next leg may take a little longer.
Clue- Life is a bowl of cherry tomatoes

Here is the clue;die wortel van die vrou ligt in land van langnekkammeel,krimpvarkie,amperbroekie ;D ;D en baie veel skottelbraai.I know it is too easy,but what a heck wenn you got your roots in such a beautiful country.
Die wortel van die vrou... The roots of the woman, Ligt in land ...Lives in the land.....Van langnekkammeel...(in afrikaans Kameelperd)..could be giraffe..., krimpvarkie (curly pig), amperbroekie (almost pants), baie veel skottel braai, with lots of BBQ's (south africans call them skottel braai)..
