Well, they look smashing RF.
I did wonder about all the faffing but it sounds like its worth it.

i'm no expert on peach leaf curl - but we have experienced it
I have sprayed in early spring, but RHS Wisley protect the tops of their trees from rain in jan / Feb / march - i think
I believe that discourages the spores from taking hold
i try to burn all leaves that drop, during the season and also when all foliage drops - ie now
Hope that might be of some help

Thanks Ian - I sprayed my little tree but I do have a slight problem in that, as I live in Germany, it is always a challenge to keep it alive over the winter months which can be very cold.
It is, once again, in the GH swathed in fleece and hopefully I will once again be lucky with it.
I don't get many peaches but I did get 9 this year and they tasted wonderful.
It is interesting to hear what RHS Wisley suggest and certainly something which I will happily try and do...many thanks for the help.
