Free: Water Kefir grains (Rodbourne SN2) Very lively water kefir grains for all your dairy-free fermentation needs. Makes a lovely drink, my kids love it. It's super productive, now I have many jars of excess grains in my fridge. Easy to brew to make your own probiotic drink, it only needs sugar and (boiled, then cooled, or bottled) water. Each jar makes enough for two litres of water kefir (use 8 tablespoons of sugar). Stir and let it sit for a couple of days, and once it stops smelling sugary, it's ready. Strain with a sieve into glass or plastic bottles and refrigerate. Do not store in metal, it goes all funny. Free to collect or I can drop off if on my way somewhere.

Free: DVD/CD rewritable drive (Rodbourne SN2) As seen (specs in second photo). DVD/CD rewritable drive, from an old Compaq desktop purchased, ahem, some time ago. My husband wanted to keep it 'just in case it comes in handy', but I asked him when that would be. So we're offering it to any computer enthusiast out there who might be looking for one of these. Collection from Rodbourne.

Free: Windfall apples (Rodbourne SN2) Gifted Half our old apple tree fell over with the weight of our apple crop this year. Pictured is less than half a bag of the three bags we have collected so far.
