Isn't FreeCycle wonderful? And what an appropriate name too. :-)

You might just squeeze something under the brake bridge and fork crown.
However, you'll need either p-clips or cable-ties at the hub-ends.

SKS Race-blades might be the simplest mudguard option for such a bike. Have
advantage of being quickly detachable for sunny days.

You got an absolute bargain on Freecycle !

Nice bike.

Race blades are very good but grit can get under the mountings and
scratch the frame. A few turns of insulating tape first solves the problem

Just remove that plastic disk thing from the rear cassette soonest, or
people will point and laugh.
Can I also spot a similar device on the chainset?

Where's the AtoZ, beer, beans, etc. I'm not sure a bottle of Tesco
baby oil is a good substitute :-\

AtoZ on my laptop, no beer , given it up in the house, beans in the
cupboard behind , at least I managed to get a marmite bidon in!

There is a Foska Marmite bidon that goes rather well with the colour scheme.

My race blades came with some stick-on film for exactly that purpose.

I've not used them in a serious downpour yet, but so far I'm impressed
with them. And as others have said, they are very quick to take off
when you don't need them. And to put back on again obviously...

Ah! mine didnt. I bought mine when they first came out so maybe the film
is a later addition. They work fine in heavy rain.

It might be heresy, but it'll make riding in crappy weather a lot more
pleasant. Am I imagining things or are there threaded holes to attach
mudguards/fenders on the front and rear dropouts? Looks like you would
just have room to squeeze a mudguard between the rear brake bridge and
your current tyres/tires (maybe even the next size up, but no bigger
than that). Can't tell from the picture how much room there is between
the front tire and the fork.

I like RaceBlades for bikes with no place to mount fenders, and for
bikes kept in places where rain is a rarity, but real fenders with
mudflaps will keep you and your bike cleaner and drier.

Nice bike.

Ceramic hobs are the disc wheels of the kitchen.
