    Thank you lollipop for all the good work you did organizing the parcel previously,:thku::rocksn::flwsml::cl-p:

    I was under the impression "sussexgardener" wanted to run it , or would Steve R still like to do it :cnfs::cnfs:

    Just throwing ideas out there as the input is very little , I will be off line from 12th Dec so whatever you decide is fine by me

    [​IMG] MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

    I thought this topic was dead, couple of packages gone missing etc etc.

    I know I sent one to the seed package (lil miss) and I've heard nothing since, so kinda given up.

    I thought it had only slowed down. It would be a crying shame if this stopped, I for one have had some lovely stuff from it.


    Sounded like Jo had actually had the parcel.

    I agree - it would be a shame if the parcel stopped. :(

    I also don't want this to stop.
    Has anyone been in toouch with Jo? do we know if the parcel was received or whether it has moved on from there.
    I look forward to seeing this move again!

    Well it was 3 months ago (mid october) that the old parcel with really old seeds in was ditched...and the seed parcel has been in suspension since then. Jo has not logged in here for 2 weeks (mid Jan), it was 2 months prior to that that a new parcel was sent out (mid november), and a month later that a red slip arrived (mid december).

    Since then....[​IMG]...that was 6 weeks ago.


    I dont want to appear negative, but it does seem to be over.

    Steve...:)

    Hi all, sorrry I've not been on but I've had a lot on, been really ill over exam and had to catch up on my uni work because of that.

    I don't have the parcel here, the red slip was for something else.

    I don't know where it's gone or what to do next.

    I would suggest that you go with that plan Jo, should I use the list from a few posts ago and send a pm to everyone to request their input here, to see who is still interested in taking part?

    I know I dont log on often, but I have plenty of seeds i'm willing to donate to make up a new parcel (although it would be good to know what has happened to the last one!)
    shame to let it go when it was so good
