violette pastilles

I love violet candies. When I was a child I would buy big rolls of soft Parma Violets from the sweet shop in our cottage town and carry them around in my pockets all summer long. My clothes always smelt of water and sand and old-fashioned candies.


These violet pastilles are from the German grocer and have a single anise seed at the centre. They're perfect to have with me on the long bus rides home from school when I just need something small and sweet to carry me through till dinner.
