Free: Cake tin (Caldecott OX14) Withdrawn Tin with snap closure and separate bottom. 24cm across/6cm high. Not used for years, bought when living in Switzerland, hence flowers and procession of cows. It is not now in pristine condition, there are a few places where the illustration has had minor scrapes. The rim looks more scraped - stored carelessly, I regret.

1d

Free: Lemon geranium pot plant (Caldecott OX14) Gifted Lovely lemon scent. I know I have let this grow too tall. It is now about 75cm high. But I believe that the top could be snipped off and the snipped off bit rooted to grow a new plant. (Ceramic pot not included in offer!)

Free: Tiny jars (Caldecott OX14) Expired Jars that come with one-helping of jam with cafe meals. I got these from another free site, thinking they would be good for samples of my own summer jams etc. Realism has come to me, however, and I know that I'm not going to make jam this year. All clean.

176d

Free: Small aspidistra plant (Caldecott OX14) Expired Only a small plant but these two leaves are part of an aspidistra that I was given many years ago. A very old-fashioned plant, aspidistras are known as the 'cast-iron' plant as they are very hard to kill off. The Victorians liked them. Does anyone have a corner for this one? To give an idea of the size - it is in a 12cm high pot.

Free: Mint Pot (Caldecott OX14) Gifted Recently split up some of the growth from a patch of mint. This should develop further although best kept contained in a pot or it is likely to spread widely.
