I can't make the clues too difficult or people will not buy the quiz sheet (£1 each) - they like to be able to do almost if not all of them.<br />Still cold here and set to get colder over the week end.

Yesterday we got back from town and were sitting on the patio with a cuppa, when the Postie arrived, and said "What do you think about this snap election then?" For once we were behind the curve! It felt like it must have done to be a country dweller in the times when you only got fresh news if you went to market or someone called on you. Quite a novelty!<br /><br />I am glad that you are out and about with your friends, and I know you always enjoy eating out at Tennants.<br /><br />You have a far better brain than mine if you can compose cryptic quizzes. My husband and I met over the Telegraph crossword at the pub. I was delighted if I got the occasional answer - he and friends could do them easily, but the fun was totally spoilt if Hugh came in, as he had been to Cambridge reading Classics, and would romp through a puzzle leaving us trailing behind . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-76857370903905687122017-04-19T11:14:10.510-07:002017-04-19T11:14:10.510-07:00Try living in the USA.
