Since Operation Anti-Ant a couple of weeks ago, we thought it would be handy to keep our breadish products in an easy-to-remove container in case of further invasions.
So today we bought this bread bin, which goes quite well with the microwave and toaster :)
(It's not as exciting as this beautiful yellow one, but it was a lot cheaper...)
A flash-free version of the same shot I took last time - that of Lancaster 466, a 32-seater Northern Counties bodied Daimler CVG5, a 1952 bus that was still in service in the late sixties, judging by the conversion to OMO. This is a vehicle that positvely OOZES with character, unlike the 'breadbins' you see in service today. Although I took a similar shot (using the flash) with my new camera - a Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS - it was all lop-sided so I got rid of it.
There was a time when buses like this 1960 Bristol FS6G with 60-seat ECW body would have been a familiar sight on Merseyside, not to mention other parts of the Crosville empire and it's a pity some of these can't run on heritage services or routes which have long ceased to exist because the youngsters of today probably don't know that you had to climb up to GET on a bus and I don't mean the Leyland Nationals which were displaced from service a few years ago. Not that you would have to climb up to get on this bus because, compared to the low-floor breadbins that are in service nowadays, there's not much difference!

The best food is the food you didn't know you had.
(The exception is that mouldy loaf of bread you forgot was in the breadbin until two weeks later.)
This is how I found them, just as I'd left them years ago.

In the run-up to christmas I take photos of gifts I might like. I never got round to showing this to Amy. Somehow she bought it anyway
Tiny loaves for a tiny bin...... 1/12th scale....each loaf is less than 1/2 inch long.
The bin is real enamelled steel, just like granny's.
This particular Polaroid 600 camera was a revision of the earlier models that used integral 600 film. It had a round top and resembled a breadbin when closed. The flash is enclosed by a semi-circle of translucent plastic (as opposed to the earlier rectangles). A velcro hand grip is usually present on the user’s left hand side. All models have close-up adaptor.

This garden has been created on a once-disused piece of wasteland, which has been brought back to life by a small community team for the benefit of everyone.
An old tin field shelter shed has been converted into a preserving kitchen where surplus fruit and vegetables are turned into jams, pickles, preserves and wine. A dining area offers somewhere for neighbours to share their meals. Most of the space is taken up by a jewel-coloured cutting garden, grown from donated and surplus seeds and seedlings; the flowers from the garden are used to brighten up community spaces such as the library, surgery or school.
“Preserving the CommunityThis garden is about creating and preserving a caring, sharing community where nothing goes to waste.
While taking photos of buses at the Wirral Transport Show, I found myself taking a photo of this, a Northern Counties Palatine II-bodied Volvo Olympian new to MTL North in March 1996 and therefore a breadbin, hence the title. You may be wondering "why breadbin?'
Well, when I was a bus cleaner at Liverpool Community Transport seventeen years ago, one of the fitters who worked there by the name of Tommy (and a dead spit of Stan Boardman) said that the buses then in service with Arriva and Stagecoach looked like 'breadbins on wheels'. In other words, they had no character whatsoever compared to older buses and the name stuck because I agree with him on that one.
I saw a sister bus to this working one of the heritage services but I didn't take a photo because that was in Arriva livery. Okay, so it was the OLD Arriva livery but it's still fucking Arriva, isn't it?
Whilst discussing whether or not we really need a bread bin today, mainly on account of the fact that bread products more often than not live on top rather than inside the thing, we discovered a reminder why we are reluctant to hide perishables inside it, lurking inside it. Evil thing.

A little disappointed with this one. Wanted to experiment with depth of field which when working with a compact was never going to end well. I was making my sandwiches for work the next next morning and when I bent down to go in the cupboard I spotted this shot of the slice of bread with the loaf in the background. Would have liked the slice to have been a bit sharper and in hindsight perhaps the use of macro would have been better but we live and learn!
