The Queen of Denmark and King of Sweden.

I forgot to say, I have a selection of seeds from Thompson and Morgan, the seed specialist catalogue. You are probably familiar. On the reverse of their packs, they have the crests of the Queen of Denmark and the King of Sweden. I assume that these regal nordic cousins use aforementioned company for all their seed requirements. Now, in Sweden and Denmark, maybe the royals are famous for their herbaceous borders and vegetable patches, in which case it would make a lot of sense to tell their loyal subjects which brand they favour. But as I do not have any idea of the gardening aptitude of the Scandinavian royal families I am not sure if this makes them a good buy or not. Maybe Queen Denmark can never propogate cuttings, and King Sweden's bulbs are always getting nibbled by squirrels. Maybe neither of them know their hebes from their jeebies, in which case why would I want to follow them down the sure root (sic) to failure in the garden room?

Hello, I am becoming slightly concerned for your health. I have noticed once or twice, that you have felt it necessary to tell us that you have been [sic] when you have written something amusing. Im glad that you find yourself so funny but to be [sic], surely this is bordering on the ridculous and slightly unnecessary! And its Sick anyway. Maybe im not understanding! Please reassure me that you are not cheerfully vomiting all over the place.
