Free: Compact film cameras (Kendal LA9) Gifted Olympus XA, with fixed lens and aperture priority options, and a detachable flash. Olympus μ, with zoom lens and inbuilt flash.

Maybe someone can fix this. They can go separately. To be collected from Kendal, or I can deliver locally.

Surface scratches from use but plenty of life left in it, and lid fits well. 25cm diameter and 12cm deep; just under 6 litres to the brim. It’s from pre-dishwasher days so best washed by hand.

Free: Unpaired knitting needles (Kendal LA9) Gifted Lonely, single knitting needles seek partners, or a new purpose in life. I’ve been given a collection of un-paired needles in various sizes, including a few DPNs, so if you need one to make a pair, let me know and I’ll see if I have one in the right size.

Free: Knitting bag frame (Kendal LA9) Gifted I’ve been given a knitting bag to find a new home for.

Free: Birthday candles (Kendal LA9) Expired This one's a long shot. Can anyone use a set of "Happy Birthday" candles which have been lit and it shows? Once they are re-lit it shouldn't be so obvious. Or maybe someone can melt them and re-use the wax. Condition as seen in photo. Collect from Kendal or I can deliver locally.
