We are growing purple podded peas which tasted great last year but as we only have a few seeds, most will be saved for next season.

Are they proper peas or mangetout PW? If proper peas, what is the 'make' please as I wouldn't mind growing some next year.

They are proper peas Shirl, they were a gift, however Robinsons amongst others do sell them.

Hmm - just had a skeg at the website PW. Are the peas themselves the usual colour?
I've grown purple french beans in the past and was sad to see the colour all soak out into the cooking water!
