Frank has been good to me today too. All the way from London.
goodness knows how old these stamps are. Eleven and a half, fifteen and a half, and a 41p commemorating Marconi. 
You might be getting these in the next seed exchange, Veggie!

Re quaking grass - the seed I had from you last time Veggie was brilliant - AND it produced briza maxima and the smaller variety briza media (which is even nicer!).
Thank you!

Ooh a Marconi stamp...............first broadcast across water made by Marconi and George Kemp from Lavernock Point to Flat Holm island. Can't remember the year now but I told it to everyone who visited Flat Holm and showed them the memorial on the island...................but I digress, as usual................I hadn't realised there were 2 types of Briza or even that that is the official name for weevil grass.Big Grin

That'll be it. We re-enacted it on the island.!!
Here's another useless piece of information - the first message that was sent was.........................."Are you ready?". Big Grin

Estimated half a ton of rubble and twenty Henry bags of dust. Reckon my envelope can get there and back without being franked for a third time? Big Grin
