[celeste]

Thanks Ray, I hadn't heard of the Box tree

 

[Cupcake]

Oak for the king connection - The Royal Oak.  Laurel is a girl's name and you'll find a cork in a bottle.  I think the sighing and languishing tree might be pine?    What will you win? 

[celeste]

I knew I could rely on you - prize is only £10 so I'll give it to charity if that's ok with you all, being Christmas it will be a children's charity

[celeste]

I think we've got them all, answers to be in by 23rd November


thanks everyone

what a lot of clever clogs we are

[Cupcake]

Hang onto the answers, cos I have a funny feeling that is a very similar quiz to last year.....    If you win, good for you, charity is a nice idea.   

[celeste]

She said it was from 2007 - I wasn't going to the coffee mornings at that time, also the box question - I think I would have remembered that one, boxwood is often mentioned on antique programmes.

I shall mention it to her next week, I know she keeps a lot of quizzes which were given out previously

[Cupcake]

Maybe I saw it somewhere else, could have sworn it was on here though....   

[celeste]

I've done two, it definitely wasn't the first one
