As I randomly guessed the answer to the 1st one I thought I knew that at one point…turns out I still do! 🤯

I keep having that issue which is why I’m giving it a bit of a break.
😘
I don’t know why the first words are so tricky. Maybe just too many options?
😂😂😂 all the puzzles before this one felt like a proper effort so it was a relief!
Those were very lucky guesses!

I went to Kew Gardens with my niece (our annual birthday visit, not to be confused with the other visits) and she took these stunners!
I only realised this last year but my favourite books as a kid were the Song of the Lioness quartet. All my favourite adult books have a strong female protagonist. If it’s got a training montage and involves justice in some way…bonus points! 😉
Really not! 😂
I’m not sure. I remember knowing where his studio was back in the day but it’s gone now! 🙄
There she is!!!
