IN today from the Prawn Lady - 14 litres of Whole milk!, Mascarpone cheese, Yeo Valley lemon curd yogurts x 2 (my favourite flavour
), a vegan sausage roll, tub of coconut & lentil dahl, big container of rocket, curly kale, muffins. OUT went a hanging basket planted with osteospermum & pansies, rescued recently, for the Prawn Lady's garden.

IN today - 7 boxes of dog biscuits and some Dental stix - from a lady who is clearing out her Mother's house while she's in hospital. Apparently, Mother's a bit of a hoarder. Up for grabs have been 7 boxes of Bran Flakes ( wonder why she had so many of them?) and 8 packets of raisins.
I've also been given a Giant size Toblerone. Its a struggle to break off a chunk but I like a challenge and I'm improving with practice.

IN from the Prawn Lady:- another 3 Litres of milk, Clotted cream, lemons, rainbow carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower & carrot mix, mint & dill. Another challenging meal combination!

An olive loaf, brioche cobs then some fruit and cheese scones.

From the Prawn Lady - Activia rhubarb yogurts x 3, Port Salut cheese, Lacto free cheddar, Strawberries, figs, mixed prepared Veg, Box of rocket leaves; 12 bags of herbs - Flat leaf parsley, coriander, basil, dill and mint. No point me drying them as I still wouldn't use them so most of these will end up in the compost bin. May try to root some of the mint and basil.
Also IN from the Hoarding Mother's daughter - a bag or raisins.

I still can't get my head round the Prawn Lady, does she keep anything??
RE: 2025 - Freecycle and similar Free stuff - Veggie - 16-02-2025
I'm sure she must keep somethings - probably meaty things. She's told me that she wouldn't know what to do with some of the veg - like avocados. What a shame.
I'd like to know what one of her deliveries looks like - but they don't deliver in my area. They also deliver sometime after midnight which is past my bedtime. She hates food waste and seems pleased that she can offload it on me. I'm happy with the arrangement too.
