TMTT - your seeds have arrived. All beautifully packaged and some surprising items I'm going to have to google.
The extra good news is - your stamps hadn't been franked.

I can’t believe how early your post arrives.
It’s very exciting hearing about all the seeds flying though you’re letter box.

The post is actually taking longer than I would expect but it must be the early postie's shift this week as it arrives before 8. The late postie delivers about lunch time. They do their runs in reverse order, I think!

Quite a few seem to get past the beady eyes of Frank.

Last year they held someone's post at the post office because "the stamps had been reused" they were cut off another letter that hadn't been stamped /or there was seloptape near them - not on it. Or something like that. I was fuming for days. My last post girl was lovey.

I remember you had loads of probs with your unpleasant postie.

I remember now - he's still a pita!! Though he did try to be nice recently.
My neighbours 70th birthday next week so her husband got her some vouchers and the catalogue from DA roses- he addressed it to himself but used my address....the postie decided they've obviously got the address wrong so delivered it to their address instead, and she was the one to pick it up

I think I'll be somewhat limiting the tomato varieties based on my realization that I'd need to make 100 envelopes which feels unlikely given my toddler's interest in the process .. I will need to get them in the post by Monday since we're isolating before Christmas. I'm slow but making progress!
