Peach Streusel Cake

It’s a season of abundance here. The fruit trees are heavy laden, and the vegetables are ripening faster than we can pick them. We scramble each day to collect in the harvest and to store and preserve as much as possible. At the same time we try to use as much of the produce as we can in our cooking so that we can enjoy the fresh bounty of the season. With the peach trees on the roadsides covered in fruit, now is the perfect time to be eating them, as well as using them in our cooking.

Peach Streusel Cake

This peach streusel cake is a perfect example of how we try to use as much fresh produce as possible. All our cakes, muffins, and desserts have fresh fruit in them at this time of the year. The streusel topping is sweet and crunchy, and matches with the freshness of the fruit.

My oven is getting to the end of it’s life. It’s getting harder to control the temperature, and it’s temperature is uneven at the best of times. I’m dearly looking forward to a new one when our extension gets going (not too long now!). Then I won’t have anything to blame if I slightly over cook my cake.

    Oh doesn’t this sound delicious.
    My aunt in the US taught me to make a peach cobbler when I was there, very fitting seeming she was from Georgia.
    I love peaches, I find they change taste when you cook them too, sweeter and caramel like in a way. So yum.
    Thanks for linking up to Your Weekly Feed. x

    This looks delicious. My oven seems to be on the really hot side so I struggle to get cakes right at the moment. I love this streusal topping.

    Looks yummy. My son makes peach or apricot kuchen with the sour cream topping. Also yummy. I have a temperamental oven too. Son and Dil were here for breakfast on Saturday before going overseas for several months to China. I forgot to warn her about oven and the keeping warm bacon turned out to be crispy bacon chips. Tasted ok, so we are it.

A lovely, easy Christmas with family, good food, a A lovely, easy Christmas with family, good food, a few presents, an afternoon swim and dinner on the veranda as the sun set. Time to stop and be thankful for the many blessings of the year. I hope you had a lovely Christmas too!
We have been mulling over how to fix up the drivew We have been mulling over how to fix up the driveway and lead up to our house for a while. Currently it’s just a dumping ground for old bits of metal and a big pile of mulch, but C would like to create a turning area and put in a garden. First up though, there’s a huge old stump that needs to go. What better excuse is there to have a fire on Sunday afternoon? C and the kids jumped on the quad bike and trailer, and hauled back a big pile of sticks and logs to help the stump burn. Once the fire was going, marshmallows were found and roasted. No better way to spend time together.
Team work makes the dream work. We were asked rec Team work makes the dream work. 
We were asked recently whether we “make” our kids work on the farm. The answer is of course not. Having said that, all three love to help out whenever they can. They all work hard because they want to; because they take pride in working hard and contributing in a meaningful way to our family life; because they love living on our farm and don’t remember life before we moved here. Whether it be planting trees or doing sheep work or feeding animals, they all want to be involved. As a parent, nothing is better than watching them grow in skill and confidence as they work along side you. We’re so glad that we get to spend time with our three, working together.
We’ve had an unexpected addition to the family ☘️🐑. She is a lot easier to look after than the other family members but she does try to escape her yard and head butt people. Poddy lambs are super cute but they tend to think they are a human. Clover the lamb is sure that Meg is her mum. Can’t think why… 🤔🤣

It’s been a tough few weeks on the farm. We got It’s been a tough few weeks on the farm. We got through shearing without a hitch (thankfully 🙏) but we’ve had a run of the flu followed by Covid run through the family since then. The kids and I have tested positive (this is my second time getting it 🦠) though so far C has managed to avoid it. There has been a lot of lying on the couch feeling pretty ordinary. Han had to reschedule her driving test for a 4th time due to Covid, which is disappointing for her because she wants her freedom and for us because it would be so much more convenient if she could drive herself places. Just to add in to the mix, our hot water system has chosen now as a good time to die so we’re on cold showers until we’re all out of iso. This is not meant to be a whinging post but sometimes life just sucks a bit and it’s good to be real. Fortunately, the sight of the fire going with a stack of wood next to it cheers us up. Things will improve soon. Onwards we go…
