One problem with home made bread is that it doesn't keep as long before going stale. The next problem with home made bread is that you feel the need to eat it all before it goes stale, after all there's no sense in going to all that effort and not eating it.
Many years ago there was a great bakery in town. My dad used to go there every Saturday to get a cottage loaf. More often than not it was an empty shell by the time he got back home on the bus.
Make two small loaves and freeze one so that you can't get at it so easily. I found that I ate more when I first started making it but now it's just bread rather than a treat.
I'd look like that big blimp/Michelin man in Ghostbusters if I started making bread - I'd always be 'kneading' to eat it....
It's also the reason I rarely bake nowadays. I can easily polish off a teabread or a load of scones in short shrift. RTBC today is that the white tailed blackbird has finally discovered how to get herself into the little ground feeder. It's slightly enclosed with branches etc to keep the bigger birds out. She looked a bit chilly sitting on the snowy shed roof though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Years ago we were on holiday in Canada and stayed for a couple of days in a B&B in Vancouver. Waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread was wonderful.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
