I sent the parcel on last Thursday, sorry but I forget now who it was sent to as they are real names on the list not our A4A nicknames. It was number 6 on the list though.

It's with me, arrived yesterday, in bed with lurgy so nice bag of seeds to rummage through. Will get OH to post for me tomorrow, Saturday, sorry if it's me that's holding things up!
Sorry got a bit confused and posted on another seed swap thread will be on its way tomorrow.

Hi Susiebelle, I sent it to a man I thought so it must have gone to someone before you so I don't think it has been held up just not reported on here when it has arrived to somebody.

Just now I heard the doorbell ring;
My postie, with a cheerful grin.
"Morning, love ... D'you know this 'un?
'To Mr Triffid'... but that's your address on."

So now I've brewed a mug of tea
And opened up a treasury
Of future flowers, and veg to come
(If we get both rain AND sun).  ::)

I've picked some beans -- and toms the kids'll eat;
Verbena too, to give the bees a treat.
And now am adding treasures to the store...
Fave veg, flowers, herbs and more.

This Jiffy bag is beaten up; I'll find a better one.
This afternoon, I'll send it on its way.
Large packet, first class: that sounds fine.
Who's next? Ah, here's it is: the next one's number nine.

So here's a clue to where it's going...
A city known for "dreaming spires" and rowing!


Please excuse the doggerel verse.
I only meant to do the clue --
But rhymes arrived and this just grew:
I'll stop right now, to save you worse.
;D :-[ ;D

Just confirming that the Jitterbug Seed Swap is on the move again. :) With luck, it may even reach its next stop tomorrow. 
Jitterbug, your inbox is full, so I couldn't send you a PM. 

anemone

Yippee - the package has arrived here ! I'll go through tonight and hope to get it back in the post tomorrow.   

triffid

Marvellous news Anemone.  And a weight off my mind, now it's safely arrived. ;D
It's a lovely collection, isn't it?

anemone

Yes really lovely :)


Sorry everyone, I missed the PO Saturday (closed at 12) and obviously it wasn't open yesterday. The parcel has been sent off today though :) I'm not as talented as triffid so won't attempt any verses, the parcel would probably arrive before I'd managed line one!

triffid

Never mind the verses, Anemone, but do give us a clue as to where the parcel's off to next.  :)

Trying to work out who the parcel's on its way to now...

Who's still waiting? Jayb, Littlebabybird, Mike McCoy, Molly44 and Star, I think.
Nope, I'm none the wiser...   :)

In any case, it's a lovely pic of a beautiful, thoughtful chook.   :) :) :) :) :)

triffid

Sent out on Tuesday... just wondering if the parcel's arrived at the next stop yet?
Still wondering where its destination was...
Hen-don? Brecon Beak-ons?  ::)

anemone

Oh dear. Easier clue - place name is also a breed of chicken begining with 'O'.

triffid

 ;D
Thanks, Anemone... the dunce in the corner's got it now.  ;D



star

Well I dunno a place where I live startin' wiv 'O'.......but I got it anyhoo. Will look through it and send it on tomorrow. It'll be going Westward from the Midlands.........possibly to an apiary ;D
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

triffid

Ooo... who else on this seedswap has got bees? (apart from me)  ;D
