It took about two minutes to steam, with the rich purple of the flowers cooking to a dark bright green and the water turning to the colour of magic broth. So tender. It took about two seconds to eat.

Last month, it was lovely to receive an Inspiration Award from Leanne - Mixed media martyr. I wrote about it in a previous post - 19th March and have finally got myself organized to pass it on. There were no exact rules for this award, but I want to share the award with four people whose blogs have inspired me many times over. Hope you might like to take a look at these blogs. You are in for a treat.
- Leslie at textures shapes color
- Jo at mystory
- Seth at the altered page
- Jeane at ARTIT
The award is in my sidebar so you can just drag it onto your desktop and then paste into your blog. Enjoy.

Thank you Annie: I too love the inspiration that comes from the blog world. It is a much more real world to me than the one of the “official news”. The nice thing about inspiration is that it is reciprocal. I get a lot of inspiration from the blogs you have listed here, and from yours. I have been encouraged to write because of reading your blog. Thank you for that! And thank you for the award.
That's one of the best things - that my words inspired your own to find a way onto the page. It's a pleasure to know you here. Ax
Thank you Annie...for Purple Patch and the award too :)
It's a pleasure, Jo.
I have never heard of purple broccoli - you make me wish I had - thank you so much for this lovely award! I am honored and will display it proudly on my blog!
Thank you so much Annie for passing this on to my blog. It means so much coming from somebody who is an inspiration to me!
Hi Jeane. Well, the purple sort is related to the Calabrese type that most of us recognize as broccoli in the shops. But the purple one wins for me because - it flowers at a different time of year to Calabrese (we also had a wok sprouting broccoli that flowered through the autumn which was still a bit of a treat, but a bit tough), it is dead easy to grow, it looks so beautiful - it often has beautiful leaves veined with pink or purple, and It costs an absolute fortune here if you can ever find it in a shop. It also attracts every flying pest in the nation, but I cage it in mesh and turn a blind eye to how many white fly I ruthlessly drown and steam to death. A girl's gotta eat!
Anyway, pleased you like the award.
Hi Seth. It's a pleasure to pass it on to you.
Loved visiting these pages Annie, thanks for passing on the award!!
