Contorted willow (Hatfield AL10)
These are cuttings taken last autumn, rooted, potted up individually and now growing away strongly. Contorted willow or twisted willow is an easy-to-grow hardy deciduous tree. It is grown for its interesting twisted branches which are brightly coloured (yellow-green or reddish orange) in winter. You can let it grow into a small tree, or cut it back hard every spring (pollarding, coppicing or stooling) to encourage even more vigorous young branches. It is a tree, so it will be big, but not massive like an ordinary weeping willow. It doesn't really flower, but it seems to attract its fair share of wildlife. It seems to be pretty unfussy when it comes to soil conditions and sun, but it's good to grow it somewhere the low winter sun will light up its branches.

Red leaved basil (Hatfield AL10)
I think variety "Red Rubin". Of course the leaves aren't red, as such - more purple/maroon as you can see in the photo. But whatever the colour, they look great on the plate and taste good too. I have some spares after potting up some young plants - which are now growing faster than I can eat them. These are only just potted up in fresh compost in individual pots, so you can just water them (and eat them) for a while. In some months they will outgrow their pots and then you should pot them on. You can keep them going all summer, but basil is a tender annual so don't expect them to live forever. Don't believe basil has to be tortured like supermarkets do - cramming millions of plants into one tiny pot. A single one will make a large bushy plant (easily 1ft x 1ft) if you keep potting it into a bigger pot as it grows. You can also root the shoots in water to make more plants yourself. Basil likes strong sunlight and warmth, so probably keep inside in a bright kitchen window or conservatory. They're very happy outside in pots in summer, but in my experience get immediately eaten by slugs if I plant them in the ground, so probably don't do that! That said, this is the year for that if you fancy it. I will divide my spare plants to satisfy demand. I also have ordinary sweet basil coming soon (EDIT: now some potted up and ready to give - will post separately soon), and possibly some backup Thai basil "Siam Queen", so talk to me if you're interested in those.

Curtain rail (Stockwood LU1)
This is a black metal curtain rail (don't get too excited, it's OK but not brilliant). It has three brackets and 14 curtain rings. It is about 165 cm unextended - and nearly double that if you extend it (although I wouldn't go too far). Previously it held quite heavy curtains (I'm swapping for blinds), so is pretty sturdy. It doesn't have finials (those decorative bits at the end) as it just fitted where it was. There are a couple of white paint splashes, but nothing major.
