My mother is making bread as I type this and that rhythmic kneading sound of her working the bread is just hypnotic...love that sound!  The only thing better would be if my hands were working the dough instead of hers, as I love that soothing rhythm and tactile sensation of when the bread turns just right under your hands.  Those old hands of hers have formed many, many loaves in her 81 yrs and I used to watch her with much joy when I was little, just watching that dough being turned and kneaded over and over.  Some things never change in this world and one is the sight of a woman with flour up her arms, pressing her hands into a ball of dough.

They look lovely Christine, like the very brown(burnt) bit, that would be my bit😊

Me too , just had half the french loaf chees and home made chutney which only seems to get better with age , they were ok but not there yet , the mix seemed a bit loose and my tin was too short so i cut then in half and they all merged together but were ok i need one of those tins .

Made four big loaves today of just plain white bread....crusty, sweet and soft.  No matter how many times I make bread, I never seem to get enough of the feeling of kneading that dough, punching it down to proof again and again.  That texture, springiness and the smell just brings back so many good memories of childhood! 

Turned out good.  I am always joyful when it turns out well.
