All your pictures are wonderful, and the violet jelly looks delicious and very pretty. I love bluebells and to see them happily flowering in your garden makes my heart smile. We are just coming into the autumn in the UK so it will be a while before the bluebell's flower here, but in the meantime I can enjoy them whenever I want just by calling in at your blog. <br />I agree with you about making friends and connections throughout the world. I’ve met many lovely people (including you), and it has really enriched my life.<br />Happy Spring, with love and hugs, Barbara.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-82466190223861673542014-09-19T09:26:11.990+12:002014-09-19T09:26:11.990+12:00Your violet jelly looks divine.

Your radicchio flower brooch is such a wonderful picture of yourself I hope you keep it and frame it! Reading about the violets tugged my emotions as my grandmother only wore purple coloured clothes and violet perfume, I didn't know you could make jelly from them. I wasn't allowed to pick the flowers though as granny thought they had fairies inside that would die if brought indoors. Just that small moment reading your post brought me to a happy memory of someone I loved and still miss!

I shall be making up your weedkiller recipe tomorrow, thanks so much for sharing it. AND trying the violet jelly too, I have enough violets in my garden to give it a go. I did laugh at you with your vegetable corsage - love the picture of you standing in your kitchen laughing. I loved the story of the piano keys journey ... that was wonderful. Hope you have a lovely week my friend, your garden is bursting into life as spring creeps upon us - at last I say.

It's refreshing! I love your Lucy gift! <br />That jelly looks delish!<br />I made plum jam and it turned out a bit soupy. I think I need a lot more practice at jam/jelly making.<br />It's till summer here but it snowed today! Of course it didn't stick, but we are known here for our wacky weather. It'll be hot again on Sunday. Weird, huh?<br />I love reading about your Trade Me pursuits! So exciting! <br />Sending heaps of love your way, GK!Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-60048717795577920342014-09-12T23:50:57.860+12:002014-09-12T23:50:57.860+12:00Hello Catherine,

I love the look of the Violet Jelly, it must have tasted divine. Great idea with the weed killer. I have little weeds and unwanted plants coming up in the paving and usually just use the left over boiling water from the kettle.<br />Lots of lovely photo's of your garden. Enjoy it.<br /><br />Happy days.<br />Bev.Bev Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779873950474515819noreply@blogger.com
