I’m going. I’m going sorta kicking and kinda screaming into autumn, but I’m going.
I’m just not going without a peaches and cream cake. Not yet.
I’m excited about the late-summer tomatoes, and I can’t say goodbye to the peaches just yet. So while the mornings and evenings are filled with that certain frosty breeze where you just know there’s no going back, the days are still warm enough out on my balcony (just) where I can sit in the sun (sorry wrinkles) and soak up every last drop before it disappears behind grey.
For someone who doesn’t like cake, I sure do make a lot of it.
The kiddies like it, and I don’t mind a small slice, still warm from the oven. The rest goes into lunchboxes – if there’s one thing I like less than cake, it’s day-old cake. The kids will take cake in any form I’ve got it.Ooh she looks nice though, no? Good enough to be washed down by a bucket of tea.
Are you ready for autumn? She waits for no man! (Unless you’re in Queensland).

Straight out of the oven is the only way cake should be eaten. It looks delicious. We’re still existing in gruelling, 33 degree days here.

Oh I’m so pleased you didn’t write a flowery ‘isn’t autumn so lovely and the light is magical’ post. Thank you. Truth is it’s fookookin cold, and as far as I’m concerned cold is bloody miserable. But maybe I’m an autumn Scrooge, I dunno. We have a magnificent peach tree here which had late peaches and everything. But the resident possums ate the lot. THE LOT. I’m sure they had peach parties, because every morning there would be 5 or 6 pips left on our verandah – just to say ” nah nah ni-nah nah”.
