Nowadays I can often be found wandering around the house lamenting the lack of time I have and wondering what I did with my days before we had the twins. I believe the answer to this is that I watched a great many re-runs of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. But seriously, I don’t know how the heck I managed to fill my days. With the new arrivals I have found that there is less luxury time. What I mean by that is that I have to use the time I have pretty well or I get thrown off course, nothing gets done and then I have to watch re-runs of Eastenders instead and NOBODY wants that. What is it with that show? If I lived there, with such moany people, I would have to spray the whole of Albert Square in Sunny Delight. Yes, they may be sticky and covered in wasps but hopefully they’d be in better moods!!!!
Anyway, back to today’s dessert, which because I now have babies, no time and am covered in poo, is perfect because it is super quick, super sweet and super in season.
And I know you don’t come here for the grammar!!!!!
- I took 2 ripe peaches and three ripe apricots.
- I sliced them in half and took the stone out.
- Then I sprinkled two teaspoons of sugar over them and placed them on a lined baking tray.
- I baked them slowly in a cool oven for about forty five minutes.
- I brought them out and served them warm with Elderflower Sorbet.
- Although they would be just as perfect served with Vanilla Ice Cream.
Soft fruits, blooming hydrangeas, cooler mornings, being covered in poo and puke. Gosh, these halcyon days, I hope they never end! Although they will and this is probably a good thing as poo is not a good look with the Autumn fashions.
Enjoy the sun on your faces and the green of your surroundings. Enjoy your babies if they are small or big. Enjoy your body both before and after babies. And enjoy your iPhone with filmed footage of your babies when they were only a day old before it crashes on you and looses everything!
No matter who you pray to, please put in a request for me to be able to recover my footage & do let me know how you get on.
My husband asked me only yesterday if I had backed my phone up on the hard drive.
The answer was no…..
I love you all,
Cherry xoxoxox

Oh I remember my Grandma baking us this when we went to visit in the summer – it was so delicious!! Not long now until it is baked apples time – another Granny M classic!
Ooooh. A friend with a peach tree just gave me bags and bags of peaches. I am going to put some in the oven this very minute. I was trying to make myself make peach jam this morning but just don’t want to bother right now. So…slow baked peaches will take care of some of the bounty! Thanks for the idea. We’ll have peaches for lunch.
Poor thing, I do hope you are able to fix your phone, how sad to loose those precious first moments with the babies…
Mmmm, it reminds me of being a little girl. My mum always used to bake our peaches with lots of sugar and vanilla. There were to die for.

Hi Cherry,
Please can you let me know what app you use to get your beautiful photo’s to look like polaroids? I know you have mentioned it being on your iphone (sorry about that, didnt mean to bring up the tragedy!) in a post before but i cant remember where!
thank you x
ahhhhh these pictures are making me feel lovely and summery sat at my boring desk in my boring office!(sadly grey sky outside too, matches the walls beautifully)
Delicious.

Praying that you get your iPhone working Cherry! The baked peaches and apricots look just peachy.
Hmmmm, mouthwatering stuff. Lovely dreamy photos too.

You must tell us if you manage to get all your filmed footage back Cherry. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.

They look delicious and such a simple but impressive dessert idea. I have just made some apricot jam and I am very proud of myself because it was my first attempt and it went down very well with all who tried it. Hooray!
I will definitely be baking some of those this weekend.
Thanks for sharing Cherry!
Those hydrangeas are beautiful, did you grow them in your garden too?
Lovely peaches and apricots, apricots are my all time fave. K x
You do make me laugh Cherry… and why doesn’t anyone ever warn you before you have children that you will constantly be covered in poo and puke in the early days!?
I am praying that retrieve all of your contents from your i-phone Cherry.

I am so with you on Eastenders, we cannot stand it in our house! I don’t even think spraying them all with Sunny D would help, they would still all be miserable.
Nice peaches by the way
I so hope you can recover your first bit of footage of the twins. They grow so fast! I look back at pictures of my little man who is now 28months and see how he has changed… You don’t notice it day to day but it’s amazing how quickly they blossom and grow
Oh, and the peaches look delicious!
