Enormous cheese plant (Ely CB6)
Rescued from a charity plant sale when it was half the size, repotted, and now threatening to take over the house! It's a very healthy plant that really needs to be in someone's conservatory rather than our living room. Currently 5 leaves, likely to grow another 3 or 4 each year. Approximate span from furthest leaf to leaf is 1.5 metres, height is 1.3 metres, terracotta pot is 36cm diameter, 33cm high.

1960s, I think. Storage box with hinged lid. The cover is removable for washing and the top is upholstered. The internal chain that prevents the lid opening all the way is broken - easily fixed. Its been in the garage for years so is a bit grimy and dusty. Needs a clean and some tlc to bring it back to it's former glory. Dimensions are 76cm wide x 45cm deep x 40cm high

Wheeled garden trolley / cart (Ely CB6)
Gifted
Wheeled garden trolley/cart - 96cm long X 50cm wide X 60cm tall. 4 pneumatic tyres and a long handle for steering. Quite heavy (it's steel) and very robust. There's a fabric lining and a separate tray that slots in the top. Bought for use as a festival 10 years ago and little used since. A little dusty and rusty from living in the garden, but still perfectly serviceable.
