IN came the week's Sourdough bread collection - 6 loaves of various shapes, sizes and grains. Also some doughnuts, cinnamon buns and a couple of other nameless pastries.

Not much has changed hands this week.
Went to church this morning and there was very little food there. I was told that they're having difficulty getting much from the stores at the moment. I did collect some bread, cakes and a box of Red Rice which is new to me.
OUT has gone some sticky film for a window and there's a bird feeder stand outside the front door awaiting collection.

Not a freebie, but I think definitely a bargain at £15
Picked this up yesterday from the charity shop. I’ve just spent the last couple of hours cleaning it up. I’ve got the bits to restore the actual seat in the pipeline. Handy when you know an upholsterer that can tell me exactly what I need and how .
It’s really cool because it swivels, tilts and is high adjustable.
These pictures are before cleaning

^^^ Vinny, I was very good at church yesterday. I showed a young girl (who was packing cakes in little bags and having trouble tying a knot in the top of the bag) how to swing the bags around to make two "ears" that could be be knotted together easily, I made people laugh and I refused to take an Easter egg so that someone else could have it - that may have been a mistake .
I also contributed some curry sauces from my store cupboard for the greater good.
Today's IN have been the weekly sourdough consignment - 3 small loaves, a ciabatta loaf and 5 mixed pastries. I never know what will be in the bag until I get home! Its like going random bread shopping.

With a haul like that you should let him out more often

Went to church this morning.
They had 200 boxes of Aldi Bran Flakes to give away! Apparently there were 600 boxes to start with but they were shared between 3 churches. They're in date until March 2024. Wonder why Aldi were getting rid of them?
Also, bizarrely, a huge box of coloured Icing in tubes. Lots of lovely bread too.
IN came taramasalata, houmous, yogurt, tofu, Gorgonzola, avocados, brussels sprouts, watercress, pea sprouts and baby leaves,,stirfry vegetables and noodles, couscous, Chinese pancakes, Skimmed milk, several loaves and...........a box of Bran Flakes (which I have since given away).

My (as yet to arrive) in is a couple of dozen free range eggs from up the road. The lady says she has a new influx of 100 hens and I assume they've all laid eggs so she is offering loads for free.

IN today - an Aero Mint Easter Egg and a jar of homemade Blackberry jam from the lady whose husband plants spuds at Easter (another thread) and an almost full tub of Fat Balls for the bird feeders.
OUT went a stack of magazines to the Easter Egg lady. Fair swap.
