I've made an observation, that the act of freezing and thawing bread 
seems to extend its shelf life. There are times when I have bought a 
quality wholemeal loaf and not wanted to start using it straight away.
I have frozen it, to unfreeze a few weeks later. Lo and behold, the 
thawed bread keeps for much longer than freshly bought bread.

Which is useful to know for someone leading a batchelor pad existence :).

Maybe the freezing is killing off micro-organisms (yeast?) latent in
the bread, waiting to make it go mouldy.
