Picture rail (scotia)

A few metres of picture rail cut into four lengths  - the longest about 5 foot, the shortest about

half that. On the whole, glossed white.

Patio slabs/flagstones

Thirty-one 18-inch square patio slabs + three slightly smaller ones. The smaller ones are yellowy. As for the larger ones, I couldn't say - they need a good power wash.

I also couldn't say how old they are but one thing's for certain: they're nothing fancy.

The aggregate is visible in a few of them, but if you were standing a shed on them then no one would know.

These need to be collected on Sunday evening or at a push Monday PM/evening. Preference will be given to anyone who confirms they can collect within this window.*

I'd recommend bringing a barrow, as you'll get them to your motor a lot more quickly, but that's your lookout. I'm afraid I can't carry them as my tennis elbow is being a royal pain in the, er, elbow.

*Not only did a half dozen people fail to confirm that this collection window was acceptable, a bunch more said it was frankly unacceptable and that they'd rather collect on another day altogether. What am I, your waste-material warehousing bitch?!

A few old bricks

Previously used in walls. Probably. We use them for holding down tarpaulin, but they’d also be great for elevating disposable barbecues or making some kind of artistic statement.

Some are broken. Some are not.

Lumps of flint

I appreciate that size is relative, but I got a couple of big ones here – the sort you’d need two hands to carry. Unless of course you had really big hands.

There are a few smaller stones too. Each of these could be grasped (and lifted) with a single healthy adult hand.

These stones would be great for anyone looking to start a rockery. Or anyone minded to return large stones to the seaside.

Date stamper (made by Dormy)

Does date numbers 01-31 + three-letter abbreviations of month (JAN, FEB, MAR ETC)

On closer inspection, the first digit (ie 0, 1, 2 and 3) appears to have seen better days. It might be possible to fix this; otherwise it’s a date stamper that works only for the first nine days of the month.

Not suitable for stamping year numbers, abbreviated or otherwise.

No ink supplied.
