I always feel that summer has really arrived when the soft fruits are ripe and plentiful. Each year I pose the question to myself 'do I prefer peaches or nectarines?' I cannot come up with a clear answer, when ripe, they are both delicious and occasionally, one has the added bonus of a split stone, revealing an almond tasting kernel. The two peach recipes today are for dessert and both use raspberries, nectarines could easily be substituted for peaches if that is your wish.

Peach & Rasberry Gateau OVEN 170°c/325°f/gas3

110g/4oz softened butter * 200g/7oz caster sugar lteasp vanilla essence * 2 large eggs 175g/6oz self raising flour, sifted * 2 peaches, halved, stone removed, cut into thin wedges 200g/7oz raspberries, fresh or frozen ones (thawed) * 2tblsp icing sugar

METHOD • Grease and line a 23cm/9" round tin with a removable base, with silicone paper. • Beat butter, sugar and vanilla together until light and creamy. • Add the eggs one at a time and beat in well. • Fold in the flour, spoon the mixture into the tin and scatter the peach slices and the raspberries over the top. • Cook for an hour, test with a skewer by inserting it into the cake. The skewer should be clean of the mixture when removed. • Leave for a few minutes before removing from the tin, then sprinkle with the icing sugar. • Serve warm with cream or ice cream. Serves 8 - 10

Peach Melba

4 ripe peaches * 4 tblsp sugar 275ml/ipt water * \ vanilla pod 4 portions vanilla ice cream

For the Melba sauce

225g/8oz raspberries ( fresh or frozen ) * 4 - 5 tblsp icing sugar (sieved ) 150mls/5fl oz double cream (whipped to a soft peak )

METHOD Make the syrup by boiling together the water, the sugar and the vanilla pod until the sugar has dissolved. Halve the peaches and insert into the syrup skin side down and simmer for about ten to twelve minutes. Remove the peach halves with a slatted spoon and when cool enough, peel o ff the skins. Make the Melba sauce by pressing the raspberries through a nylon sieve and then beating in the sieved icing sugar. Chill the peaches and the sauce. When ready to serve, place a spoonful of ice cream into an individual glass dish, arrange two peach halves over the ice cream, pour over the Melba sauce then top with a dollop of cream. Serves 4

NB The success of this simple sweet is to have the ice cream at the correct temperature for serving.

After two years (or more) of constantly harping on about the state of the rubbish bins in Port Isaac and Port Gaverne, still absolutely NOTHING has been done. The seagulls still have a constant feast and having no manners they manage to leave any items they don’t fancy all over the ground. Many Jubilee medals of the bins are totally rusty and broken.

If it wasn’t for Richard clearing up every day this place would be a total disgrace. Surely it can’t cost that much to renew the bins with ones large for Port Isaac enough to accommodate the ever mounting pile of rubbish we seem to throw out and with decent gull-proof lids.

Of course, it would be sensible to have a better recycling system in the area schoolchildren and we really do need a ‘plastics’ bin along with the others already in the top Dear Trio car park.

A t first When we had finished the tent I tor for jilt a ra ft but it didn't work so we we had to have water tipped over played in the water and jumped onto the barrels. Then it to see if it was water proof we did windsurfing and one person had to go at each end and then we when we were inside it and we all had to wobble them off. RHYS BISHOP was the champion because he got wet. Then we had to make a wobbled everyone off. Then we went on to the moors and we followed a jacket which had to have six rope whilst we were blindfolded. The rope went in caves and under pockets and we put stones and tin some rocks and down a hill to the finish. We also had to make a tent into the pockets. t t Z ? The Trio Directory
