Free: Niger seed (Burleigh GL5) Gifted About 1/2 a tub [approx 1 kg??] of seed. Not sure why I bought so much as i do get goldfinches, which eat them, but it would take a massive flock to get through all of this.

Free: Computer carry case (Burleigh GL5) Gifted Has loads of pockets, all kinds of sizes, for books, paper, pens, cards... Plus of course a laptop. In good condition as scarcely used. The case is quite heavy so maybe not great for lugging about on a train too much.

1y

Free: Magimix and attachments (Burleigh GL5) Gifted This is not 100% OK BUT the base with the motor works -- though the spindle is a bit distorted. It might respond to sanding down. The lid is also a bit chipped so does not function to get the motor started, as it should. But the blades etc are fine. So it is useful for the parts, at least.
