Indoor/outdoor decorative lights (Downley HP13)
Set of decorative Christmas lights ideal for putting in a tree or hedge. Can be used indoors or outdoors. Some years old but never used and fully working, but I am never going to use them now. Just found them in the loft so tested and photographed. Note that they are just static lights - no fancy flashing etc.

Eagle Centre Spread Album (Downley HP13)
Gifted
Many years ago the Eagle comic published cut-away drawings of then current technology as centre spreads. These included planes, boats, cars, trains, etc. My father used to cut these out and mounted about 100 of them in an album. They form a historical cross section of what was around in the mid-1950s. The pictures are glued to thick paper so the album is rather heavy. Will keep you interested for hours while you work out how, for instance, the Rover gas turbine car worked.

Coffee machine (Downley HP13)
Gifted
A De'Longhi coffee maker; a small version of the machines in coffee shops. Forces hot water through ground coffee. Also has steam heater for milk. Used to make very good coffee but I went over to a coffee pod machine for convenience (but the coffee is no better). Been in store for a while so a bit dusty and I haven't tested it, but it was working fine when taken out of use. Instructions, such as they are, included. I will wait a couple of days before choosing a recipient to give more people a chance to reply.

Four unopened packs of Tassimo Morning Café pods. A total of 64 cups. Best before 9/11/25.

Beach Shelter (Downley HP13)
Gifted
Tesco beach shelter (or half tent). I don't think it has been used or if it has then only once for a short period so it is in very good condition. The picture is a scan of the wrapper as I do not have an actual photo.

4+1 Speaker system (Downley HP13)
Gifted
Sony 4+1 speaker system. 2 speakers, usually the rear ones, are on adjustable floor stands while the other 3 are on table stands. Full set of cables included. Note that the floor stands need to be assembled. The system has been in store for a couple of years and could do with cleaning but otherwise I believe it is all working.

Coffee table (Downley HP13)
Expired
Nice sturdy coffee table size 890mm x 45mm, 41mm high (35 ins x 171⁄2 ins x 16 ins). Due to the sun and some water damage it needs a bit of attention with glasspaper and a coat of varnish on the top. Or you can just cover it with a small table cloth.

Pond Iris Plant (Downley HP13)
Expired
A pond flag Iris plant, Iris Pseudacorus, (may be more than one) pre-planted in a planter. You can just drop it into your pond or replant. Would probably benefit from thinning out later in the year. Photo shows the plant in a large pot of water to keep it fresh; you do not get the pot. Produces yellow flowers in spring.

Water Lilly Plant (Downley HP13)
Gifted
I have been thinning out the plants in my pond and have a couple of water lilly roots available. One root is in a basket and could just be dropped into a pond as it is but would benefit from thinning or replanting. Other root is loose and will come in a plastic bag, but again could just be dropped into a pond although would benefit from proper planting. Both have a lot of leaves and produce a white flower. They are not small plants and need deepish water. Please say if you want the pre-planted, loose or either.
