Cranesbills, Bergenia, Ajuga - or similar perennial plants (Langwathby CA10)
Withdrawn
Hi. Anyone having a garden edit/clear? I've got a large sloping expanse of garden soil to cover, in-between hawthorns. Was thinking perennial geranium (cranesbills), and anything else more 'naturalistic' that'll cover fast. Open to ideas 😄Thanks.

Trailing houseplant rooted cuttings + potted plant (Langwathby CA10)
Gifted
Tradescantia, I think. Keeps needing a trim, I keep putting the bits in water and they root. So lots of new stems ready to pit up to make new plants. Plus one already planted up. (They're a bit sun bleached and browned as been in a too-sunny windowsill, but should recover and go darker green - third photo for illustration.)

3 x double glazed 24mm glass units (Langwathby CA10)
Gifted
Still useable, just replaced with plastic panels. Or good for other purposes, surely? Panel sizes were: 630 x 685mm 710 x 1095mm 710 x 210mm So presume glass units are similar. Collect Langwathby or I can maybe deliver Penrith & some Eden Valley villages.

10 x 100mm tiles, or plant stands, place mats, other... (Langwathby CA10)
Expired
Beige (ish) with a tiny surface sparkle effect (which seems to wear off after a while). Might be a couple (to 15 max) more, but used, as am soon removing the ones already on the wall.

Free:
2 large wall mirrors (were sliding wardrobe doors). (Langwathby CA10)
Expired
Approx 220 X 60 cm. These still have most of the sliding door fixings on them, and doubtless you could buy replacements, or else just use them as they are. I have, however, used them of late just as long wall mirrors, floor to ceiling. (I had a length of 2x2 wood attached on either vertical side, and then that was attached to the wall.) They are plastic surrounded; maybe could carefully be removed? You can have one or (preferably) both. Collect from Langwathby, or I can maybe deliver locally.

Large. Heavy. Once regarded as a good quality speaker. Over 20 years old. Connected to an amp recently, still work. 8 Ohm, wired. I just don't have room for them any more, not even as plant stands... Have a black nylon cover, staples removed to pull it down to check speaker condition - will restaple back. Ply waxed tops.

Yet more plastic pots! (Langwathby CA10)
Expired
Got to reduce my hoarde! Not intending to get rid of every single one on the photos, but I do have far too many. So if there's any particular colours or sizes which are useful to you, please let me know what I can spare when I've done a final sort and tidy.

Dimplex electric living flame heater (or flame effect lamp?) (Langwathby CA10)
Gifted
In working order when tried recently. Sad to let it go as it makes a lovely atmospheric flame-effect room light, never mind optional additional heater function, but it's too big to build in elsewhere in my house. Plastic shroud can be removed with a few screws, so can operate as a smaller unit. Lightweight and easily portable, or position permanently in surround as per original set up here. Wooden fire surround on a separate listing. Collect Langwathby, can maybe deliver locally.

Free:
Selection of metal wind chimes, need restringing. (Langwathby CA10)

Expired
Not necessarily full beam or sleeper sized, but something over 6" by at least 3" and about 1.5 metres (or yards!) + long - for the mantle at least. Open to anything with some character, bit bashed around or otherwise aged, or what have you, which I can make into a deep-topped mantle which is supported on uprights. Rough(ish) timber can be smoothed, aim eventually to wax it. Needs to be dry, unpainted and woodworm (etc) free. Thanks.

Sliding wardrobe doors + tracks, 2x900mm & 2x960mm (Langwathby CA10)
Gifted
Woodgrain effect. Solid & heavy, slide smoothly. Presume plastic coated MDF. One set painted cream, the other white but presumably also paintable. Silver or aluminium trims and tracks. Were part of 2 built in wardrobes. In vgc, once a good quality set, I imagine: but sadly no-one seems to want to buy them. You just need some melamine or wood sides and/or a wall and you'll have some very nice wardrobes again. Also 2 chrome rails for the 900s, 4 rails for the 960s. Each door 2200mm high plus the wheels and running gear. Will dispose of separately or as 2 sets or the whole lot. Recipient must collect please.
