How many did you make goodlife? - there's enough flowers there for gallons of the stuff!

I made some ice lollies out of my cordial the other day - mixed half half with water.
Absolutely gorgeous and totally refreshing (used your cordial recipe)  ;D

I only ended up doing bucket full ;D ::)..couldn't possibly take all that lot down..have to leave some for later on too ;) I've never used any berries for anything so I might try this year..(I keep telling that for myself every year ::))..
Ice lollies sounds nice...I wonder how they would taste with some cream or yoghurt with too..ice cream style lollies..Hmm...my 'grey cells' started to rattle.. ;D
I glad to hear you have made good use of the recipe.. ;)...are they adult lollies with drop of something with it or 'for whole family' version..?
