Free: cot/bed blankets (SW15) Gifted Above are two pure wool, cream, cellular blankets. Light and comfortable and very warm. 4 x 3 foot. Can be used as a baby shawl also. Not in their first youth, a few pulled threads but very serviceable. Almost impossible to buy now and would be expensive. Peter Jones originally.

Free: small double mattress (SW15) Gifted this is standard size, small double. 4' 6" x 6' 3". Perfect condition, little used as has been on a spare bed but not my main spare room. Bought for light granddaughters, young/teenage. Now mostly used by heavier men! It is on the soft side, and am upgrading to firmer. But my son in law who stays regularly says it is very comfortable! Can be viewed. Details as shown - Peter Jones and very well made. Given price of replacement mattress this is an excellent deal!!

Free: back pack (SW15) Gifted haven't used this pack in a long time and think i won't use it again! Good condition - outer cotton/canvas/ mesh/straps/ padding all totally fine. Zips work. Is old but had very light use. Some of the inner lining seems slightly sticky - as tho worn - but this doesn't apply to pockets . Assume that '45' indicates capacity. Would say good for teenager or not very strong woman! Can pack a lot in!

Free: miele hoover (SW15) Gifted this is a strong hoover, Complete C3 cat and dog. Not in its first youth and my cleaner says it is less powerful than it was. Filters have been changed but need doing again i think. I have exchanged it for a smaller lighter and cheaper model! I don't need something this size in my current house. Happy to supply a new bag - the one inside is half full.

Free: plants - perennials (SW15) Expired i have two very large Gaura plants as illustrated - tall and need a lot of space. ( right hand photo shows they have come through the winter happily) They were growing over other plants and crowding out the echinacea ( pink daisies in photo) So looking to re-home. They are drought resistant - you see them planted in gravel in northern France - and will flower into November, Need full sun. Now would be a good time to dig up and re plant. I will replace with Gaura but a smaller variety. This one was bred by Rosie of Hardy Cottage Plants who regularly wins gold at Chelsea!!

Free: laundry stuff (SW15) Gifted I don't know this make - but the cardboard box of washing powder is almost full, the blue bottle of fabric conditioner also. Left behind by a lodger, they have sat in my laundry cupboard taking up room. I can't see anything wrong with them! I don't use fabric conditioner.

Free: vintage coffee maker (SW15) Gifted size - takes about 450 mlls water. Inside quite stained with coffee, but don't think it affects the taste. I now use an aero press for one person and i think my Air b and B guests need something that looks newer! It has always made good coffee, and is the French/Italian way of making it. New, in River Cafe or Peter Jones they are about 20 quid. Admittedly they look shinier

Free: forget me not plants (SW15) Gifted hi - my forget me nots which were wonderful with bulbs in the spring, have re seeded and taken over my border - I want to keep some but i have a lot to get rid of, as i think they were taking up light etc from other plants. Please come and dig your own - OR i can get some pots ready. I also have too much Dianthus Mrs Simpson - would love to halve what i have got! Couldn't get photo on to my screen for some reason....but welcome to look

Free: bistro table and two chairs (SW15) Gifted white, table diameter a shade over 23 inches, not in its first youth and has some slight rust marks. Better to keep it under plastic over winter. But pretty, and I have enjoyed it. Now i have a very small terrace, and two over-tame pigeons i cannot keep off the table and chairs.....

Free: ironmongery (SW15) Gifted The above is a mix of a working lock, keys, external door hinges and screws, which might be of use to somebody. I had to have the door rehung, because it wasn't locking properly after a lot of wet weather, and I upgraded the locks.
