The Sourdough bread collector and I have a special relationship! She knows that I always want bread, will always turn up on time to collect it and will always take more bread if its leftover. Before she offers the bread on OLIO she messages me to say that she's put aside a couple of loaves - but to ask for more if I want it.
That's the background to my story, which is.............
This morning I went to pick up my two loaves and was told that 2 people hadn't turned up to collect their bread and there was likely to be more bread for me but she wouldn't know for half an hour.
My brother lives in the next road so I went to see him and kill some time. I had the Dog treat antler for his dog anyway.  Of course, when I got there, he was out - walking his dogs - so what could I usefully do for half an hour - weed his front garden!!
When I went back for the bread there were 3 more loaves so I went back to my brothers to give him some bread......and he still wasn't back.
He has a safe place for post and parcels - a compost bin   so I put the bread and antler in the bin and came home. Rang him tonight and I don't know what upset me most - that he hadn't found the bread in the bin or hadn't noticed that I'd weeded his garden!! 
I'll take a book next time.
