Time will tell how much of that she is prepared to put in. My strawberry and apple jam is just about one of my favourites. I love it.

Glad you enjoyed the post and yes it would have been lovely to have you there.<br />It's funny how when something has a ribbon on it, everyone naturally pays more attention to it. So to answer your question yes we saw some people thoroughly checking out Nikka's works. Pa agrees with you and also likes that one the best. I didn't post the picture of the little girl because it was in a poorly lit position in the pavillion and I couldn't get a good pic of it. That was one of my favs. Chickie sold. To a child I believe who nagged their parent to death to buy it. How funny is that?<br /><br />So nice of you to drop by Julie and many thanks for the appraisal. If you need a budding photographer, she is looking for work! I think she would prefer to work in Newcastle (England) but hey beggars can't be choosers.<br /><br />Maybe I ought to be sending you the Brandied Lime Marmalade ribbon Linda. After all if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have made it. Your reaction is overwhelming and I feel very touched. Thank you. BTW next time I shall definitely try it with greener limes. Don't know how I will feel it beating the orange marmalade but only one way to find out. You're on.<br /><br />Oh how very sweet of you Chelsea. It's nice to see you recognise the effort it takes to make these things. And an effort it can be! Nicole will be pleased with your kind words. Thank you. <br /><br />Thanks jorgen - I guess it is a case of wanting to do something and then just going for it. One can always find time if the willingness is there. <br /><br />PS; ATTENTION DEBORA FROM LICKEDSPOON. - I'm sorry my dear but I cannot access your comment section. I have tried several times to leave a comment but a block comes up saying that "Internet cannot access this site.....operation aborted". I am completely annoyed and frustrated because I love dropping in to see what you are up to and of course lettting you know! Sorry. Will keep trying - lovely historical doors BTW and I loved your list. x Mariana.Marianahttp://thrumykitchenwindow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-33008520114690909052009-07-02T07:02:14.935+10:002009-07-02T07:02:14.935+10:00Hi Mariana

I must say you are a talented family. The photographs look stunning. Thats one talented girl you have there and you have every right to be proud. Even Hubbys produce looked wonderful. Oh the joy of fresh food :-)<br /><br />I am pleased that you won a placing with the Brandy Lime Marmalade.

Awesome results all 'round, and seriously, if you can't brag on your own blog, what's the point of having one?

Have you ever entered and won something for EVERY entry? Seriously mum.. wow!<br />I'm so glad you put in the pictures so I could see it too. It's a sad year to have missed it. :(<br /><br />How did Nic react when she saw how well she'd done? Were there lots of people oggling over her photos like there have been in previous years? That second picture you put in looks quite amazing. Which one sold?<br /><br />A thousand questions.. <br />Wonderful post.

I can definitely see a ribbon(s) coming your way if you were to do that. Thanks for all your kind words. Tell your friend Annette to say "hello" to me next time she visits. I'd love to know what she made. So pleased you dropped by sweetie. <br /><br />Thanks Debora - I do hope you check out some of my preserves as I recall you mentioning you were very fond of jams and marmalades. I think that is a very English thing that thankfully has been passed onto us aussies. I shall pass on your encouraging comments to Nicole.<br /><br />Stormy - The only thing missing is all of us running next door to show you guys. You always made us feel so special and it was never put on; you really meant it! That kind of genuiness is hard to find; so it's times like these we really miss you. For some reason your Dad comes to mind - I know how very fond he is of his jams. Hope both he and your mum are doing well. I shall tell Nikka what you said.Marianahttp://thrumykitchenwindow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-45647681895858251692009-07-01T06:32:46.460+10:002009-07-01T06:32:46.460+10:00Well you guys did it again ......I always remember...Well you guys did it again ......I always remember that photo that I took of you all lined up covered in ribbons and it always made me smile as Frank's dad was just blown away by it. <br />Congratulations to you all and Nicky wow is all I can say what a photographer!!!stormygaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750047533858826304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-33497593833458882002009-06-30T23:09:26.538+10:002009-06-30T23:09:26.538+10:00What a talented family you are!

Her photo's look incredible! What a talent. And all those awards you received of course you would be proud.<br />I can't wait to try those muffins.<br />A BIG congratulations to all of you.<br />My friend Annette said to me at work today - I was making something from the through my kitchen window blog and it was so delicious. I'm afraid I forgot what she had cooked, but it makes me laugh when my friends refer to you as the through my kitchen window blog instead of marianna. Anyway - thanks for great reading.Kylie Bertuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058734733825351696noreply@blogger.com
