Went to the FREE food church today - first time for nearly a year as the church has been closed for building work. Much improved space and a kitchen that I would happily have taken home with me.
Came home with lemons, cabbages, bread and rolls, tea cakes, chicken drumsticks, a veggie pie, lemon thyme, diet coke and green tea with lemon. Seem to have a lorra lemons today!

Two kids snow sledges and a seed tray stand with many trays and modules. Quite pleased with that. Waiting for someone to collect some toddler toys.

A new pair of wellies. Very handy as mine had sprung a leak.

Ten tins of tuna, use by 2022.
I'm still using LIDL cheap tins from an offer several years ago - they're use by 2022 too.

two boxes of raw chicken meat for the dogs. They'll be happy. ;D
OUT went 6 Music CDs to the Morries Charity book stand. I find this really useful as you just add your books.CDs, whatever to the stand. There's no need for a special trip to a charity shop, who'd probably say they didn't want the stuff anyway!

OUT went a box of books and a spice carousel with extra spice jars.
More clutter being collected tomorrow.

Yesterday bob got offended lots of bits from a house in the village. As the house is being handed down to the next generation. He came home with a sheet of plaster board and several sheets of plywood. An old 1930/40 gas iron, an iron that you put hot coals in, an old set of scales with weights, a Tilly kettle, 1 Tilly light and 3 Aladdin gas light (two numbers 23 & a 21 )and 2 boxes of spares for the lights, including the original instructions. 4 random containers which will soon be planters in the garden. The lights came in a very 70s plastic washing basket purple with white handle. I’m hoping it’ll clean up to be reused for the job it was intended.

That does sound an interesting lot SC
I love my old Avery scales even a few grains of sugar alters the balance.

IN came 2 bags of outdated food. I was asked whether there were any dates that were too old!! Tinned fruit, tomatoes, beans & chickpeas, pasta sauces, various jams and pickles including caramelised peppers, peanut butter, lemon curd, golden syrup, a Christmas pudding and some digestive biscuits.
OUT went some books, in exchange for the food. I won!!
