Request: Cork for The Macallan whisky bottle (Eskbank EH22) Expired An odd one and a bit of a stretch...! A friend opened my new bottle of Macallan last night and in the process somehow managed to destroy the cork. Does anyone have a spare Macallan cork, or are you close to finishing a bottle and can spare the cork? I don't get through a lot of whisky and would much prefer a cork to the current Vacuvin stopper, for however many years it takes to get through it! Thanks for reading.

Request: Roofing felt and nails (Eskbank EH22) Received Rather than buying a full roll of roofing felt, I thought I'd see first if anyone on here has some left over from a project. It's not for hedgehog houses this time, but to patch the perished edges of the roof of my garden shed. What I need is 4.5m x 15cm, but I could get this by cutting strips from a useable 1m length. If you also have felt nails you no longer have a use for, I'd be delighted to take them off your hands too. Many thanks.

Free: Hollyberry cotoneaster (Eskbank EH22) Gifted This cleverly self-seeded in a plant pot beside my garden shed. It's approx 60cm high x 60cm wide. It grows into a lovely shrub/small tree. Great for biodiversity too, as bees love the flowers in spring. Produces clusters of red berries in the autumn, which look great against the dark green leaves. I also have a second available - again self-seeded and because of its location right next to the shed, this one is taller and leggier at approx 120cm H x 90 W. Please say in your response when you can collect from the Dalkeith area. Close to bus routes.

Request: Roofing felt for hedgehog houses (Eskbank EH22) Received I'm looking for a small amount of roofing felt, please - 3 x (45cm x 45cm) - to waterproof the bases of my hedgehog houses.

I Freegled the roll I had a couple of years ago and rather than buying another for the small amount I need, I thought I'd try here first to see if anyone has some left over from a project. A hedgehog tried entering my house last night in the heavy rain, so any help is appreciated for what is clearly needed!
