Question 1.....Who's that lovely lady in the middle ??
21 Dec, 2009
Hi Bluespruce...
Do you like the quiz ?
Lady in pic. number one is lovely GoY member "Bloomer" :o)
21 Dec, 2009
Looks good Tt, but as you know flowery things are not my strong point :0)
21 Dec, 2009
I will try and have a go, TT, in between baking sausage rolls, cheese straws, mincemeat cake, etc etc. but it does look a bit difficult :(
21 Dec, 2009
Lol.. I made this because of the complaints that my previous crossword blog was considered too easy.. :o)
21 Dec, 2009
Terratoonie I have most of the answers( thanks to google)but still working on solving the rest its not easy.
21 Dec, 2009
Thanks, Mavis... for the update..
...sounds like you are doing very well ! :o)
21 Dec, 2009
Hi Terra....Jane here and struggling too ! BB out doing chores in this snow,and collecting wood ! Got most of answers but stuck on a couple.Will persevere ! Lol
21 Dec, 2009
Hi Jane....
looks like you are getting there ...well done :o)
...maybe BB will have some ideas on the last couple of clues ?
21 Dec, 2009
Will have to check with him when he gets in AFTER he s had his tea Lol
Q 13 is stumping me..at first thought of Bonsai as I knew he used to push the lawnmower,but only 6 letters...grr ! Got one of the members names though ! Lol
21 Dec, 2009
Yes, I think most people will work out the shorter name first. :o)
Good idea to leave a couple of clues for BB... then it will be a joint effort. Lol.
21 Dec, 2009
Well Terra I know the answers to 1 and 10 amazingly, but somehow I fear that's it! Look forward to seeing who gets there first.
21 Dec, 2009
That sounds like you are almost there, Ginellie...
very good... Google can help a bit with some answers...:o)
21 Dec, 2009
TT, I just cannot understand the 14th question...:) Have all the answers...but Q.14...
21 Dec, 2009
Hi Uma...
GoYpedia might be of help....?
21 Dec, 2009
Oh, TT! I've got it!
21 Dec, 2009
Well done, Uma..
Please pm me the two GoY members' names...

21 Dec, 2009
Uma has sent me a message with the two correct names and the list of all the answers 1 - 16.

8 Jan, 2011

8 Jan, 2011

I kept looking for twigs in the pics above ...
not even the sea onion really fitted the bill.... LOL...:o)))
8 Jan, 2011
Just label me "Confused Old Twit" and carry on! :-)
I didn't actually LOOK at the pics when I posted the "twigs" comment above.....
8 Jan, 2011
I wonder what you'll make of my new crossword ...
I've been working on it this evening ...
good news for you ... not too many twigs ;o)
but the prizes might be twiglets ...
... ideal for sending by email ... LOL...
8 Jan, 2011
