Free: Lots of Apples (Cotham BS6) Expired Very early crop. A Cox's variety, eating apple which also cooks beautifully without needing much sugar. Excellent for crumbles! Well reward preparation and care. However these do not last, especially in recent Heat: are not keepers and need to be used. I'm keen not to waste. Bring some bags and help yourself. There will be a box at gate, Southfield Road, number 7, off Cotham Brow. UPDATE Plenty still here, but they spoil quickly. Trying to keep cool in basement. Please come and collect some.. My mobile 07392425236. Kind regards, Jean

Request: Jigsaw Puzzle Mat (Cotham BS6) Expired I've seen a rolled out mat on which you build jigsaws. Somehow it can keep the completed part in place, with a gripping surface. It can be stored safely until the next session. I wonder if anyone has one stowed away and not used. I'd like to try some soothing jigsaws which I used to enjoy. Thanks for looking.

Request: Orchid clear pot and bark (Cotham BS6) Received Any orchid-wise house plant experts out there? I'm trying to bring an abandoned cymbidium back to life. Not looking very hopeful but I won't give it up yet. Have watched videos on YouTube etc using garlic infusion or rice water; and always seem to use clear transparent pot with pine bark. I am a complete novice in this specialised culture, but would appreciate any help to give this plant new life. Thanks in hope.

Free: SilverCrest Coffee Maker (Cotham BS6) Gifted Neat design, cone swivels out to load with ground coffee. Filter papers not necessary as cone has mesh filter. Very nice jug with lid, capacity ten (small) cups. Base plate keeps coffee hot. In clean good condition. The front switch just recently needs firmer click: still works. Maybe minor refurb job for clever person.
