At 12.40pm,The postman knocked,as we were just having lunch.I have been eagerly awaiting a package…so,what was it ?
mmm,well packaged..and labelled..can you guess who sent it ?

Artistic Direction..does this mean ,this way up,..a chance of rain,..or telling Royal Mail,its’ going ‘oop North ? .lol.

So,the exciting bit,opening the parcel…
What’s this?
OMG,she has sent Megan !!!..a clue there,folks..:o)


Let me get the packaging out quick..oh..confetti..how did you know I was going to watch a wedding tomorrow?


Thank goodness for that..not Megan,bless her..but two lovely ‘Minature Bells’ Penstemons.!lovely…:o)


What’s this, a letter as well?


Wonderful..Nigella seeds,I was promised,and she remembered.:o)


It is now 2pm,..I don’t waste much time…little plants all cosily tucked up,in their new homes,and as they are a little tired,but Healthy,after their journey ,I have propped them up,till they recover…
I’m sure most of you will know who sent them by now,but if you don’t..thank you ,dear friend,Shirley Tulip..they are all very much appreciated..I know you won’t mind me writing this blog,as you have the same sense of humour as me..I almost choked eating my sarnie..with laughing ,when I saw the box..Lol.A very good idea,Shirley,and so sturdy..I am adding it to my collection,for future packaging I may need..and I still have your shoe box!!! xxxx


This afternoon has turned out nice and sunny,after a shaky start,so off into the garden I go..enjoy your days out this week ,Shirley, and thank you again.. :o)))

16 Aug, 2011

 

Thats lovely, I am expecting some too, but mine havent arrived today, and I am nearer to Shirley than you are. Isnt the post strange these days. They look good, aren't we lucky girls.

16 Aug, 2011

16 Aug, 2011

 

Pixi and Yorkshire..It was nice of her,wasn't it ...so good when you are expecting a nice parcel..:o)

16 Aug, 2011

 

Oh! Oh! I got nigella seeds from Shirley today!! Isn't that such a coincidence, Cinders! And the little baby Cinderella heuchera you sent me...has three new leaves!! It's looking great. Lovely healthy penstemons Bloomer! 'Shirl's the girl' for good plants! Lol! :0)

16 Aug, 2011

 

I agree about the post,Cinders..very odd..They are lovely little plants ,and yes,we are lucky..:o).By the way,I split the Marmalade/Liquorice Heuchera last night,so now have two ...,and now Georgia Peach has been moved ..again ! and is in between them.. .they all look the same size now.
Looks really good .:o)
I was very pleased to receive them,Joanella.I think Shirley and OH are having some days out together this week,..but she may be on tonight sometime..in fact I'm almost sure she will...to see if the Penstemons arrived ok. Lol.
Can't wait to read her comments .!!! Lol.

There's nothing nicer than a plant or seeds gift from GOY friends , when you walk round the garden you know exactly who sent you what and think about them as you work :o)

16 Aug, 2011

 

Thats very true Amy, and I have so many now its a job to remember sometimes, I think I shall have to start a log book to remind me.

16 Aug, 2011

 

You lucky things......plant pressies from GoY friends.....Hope you realise our Shirley Tulip....that you are delaying Sandra from writing another blog about important plants......such as.......dahlias!!!!...especially when there are piccies!!!!!......lol

16 Aug, 2011

 

It's 20.47 hrs and I've just logged on to this wonderful, funny, lovely site! ..... All I can say to you, Mrs. Bloomer, is thank goodness I used a cat food box and not something more personal like the 'La Senza' box I've saved for packaging plants ... LOL!!! .....

I can't believe yours arrived so soon ..... the two packages (one to Cinders as you now know) were posted at 8.45am yesterday ..... really odd one's arrived but the other one hasn't! ..... I also sent three envelopes of Nigella seeds and they've arrived in Wales, N.Ireland and the Midlands ... sorry, Cinders, your postman must be asleep! .....

Mind you, my neighbour, John, has been waiting three weeks for a package from his son in Thailand ... not what you're thinking ... it's his son's latest book!

Oi, Yorkshire, not so much of the 'old' ... lol! :o)))

Joan, I DO have a couple spare . . . . .

16 Aug, 2011

 

For goodness sake,Lou..It's done!! go look at your blessed Dahlia's..I've just this minute finished it..thank goodness..no more nagging ! Lol.:o)))))))))

16 Aug, 2011

 

Lol,Shirley...I knew it would make you smile..Russ thinks I'm potty..or words to that effect .:o)Great to have a bit of fun though,isn't it ? I would have seen it earlier,but for a certain person,who lives further "oop North "than me,who keeps harping on about B....y Dahlias !! Lol.hope you have had a lovely day out..:o)).will send you a PM tomorrow..got typists finger ! :o)))

16 Aug, 2011

 

Only joking Shirley, no room at the inn ..lol..i need a bigger garden..:o))

16 Aug, 2011

 

Could everyone just stop posting blogs and pics for a couple of days ... I just can't keep up ... lol! .......

We've had two lovely days out ... with another planned for tomorrow ... could get used to this ... lol! .......

I need more hours in the day, Joan ... this site seems soooo slow and I've got loads to catch up on ... lol!

16 Aug, 2011

 

Well,I am having a bit of a blogging break ,so you won't have me to put up with! ..glad you are having a well deserved bit of 'me 'time,Shirley...enjoy..:o))

Been reading all these blogs and am amazed at all the activity on this site. You all seem such good friends it is quite uplifting. So glad I found GOY

23 Aug, 2011

 

Many 'cyber-friends' on here, Breda, but quite a few members have met in person ... don't worry if Bloomer and I seem cheeky to one another ... just have the same daft sense of humour! :o)))

23 Aug, 2011

 

Be warned,Breda..it's very catching..but the best infection ever..welcome to our world..put housework on the back burner..this is more important ..Lol.
