2026 - Freecycle & similar FREE stuff

New thread for 2026.

Hope you acquire lots of freebies this year.

My first IN of 2026.   
Books. I'd arranged to collect some cookery books but was also offered whatever I wanted from a pile of paperbacks. I, rather modestly, only took 10! 
A couple of the cookery books will be given away (either already have them or not interested in them). I'm not really sure why I collect cookery books as I never follow a recipe!

Called in at the church picked up a winter squash, swede and a few potatoes.

You can tell it's New Year as the seed catalogues have started arriving! The DT Brown seed catalogue is free, but the seeds aren't. I will peruse it though to see if there is owt new I fancy trying? One thing I do need to get is horseradish. I have just had some with my steak and I use it regularily.I used to have a plant at my old allotment and it's a perennial which is very easy to grow and proliferates similar to dock so one root should do me?

IN today two post-Christmas clearouts.
Two Christmas puds, a Panettone, tub of Cheeselets, crisps, roasted pistachios, 2 jars of olives, homemade sweet pickle and Strawberry jam. Ginger biscuits, a chocolate Santa and a chocolate reindeer, sherbert lemons, butter mintoes, lots of small sweets, M&Ms and chocolate bars.
Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

That’s a good clear out
