But what are the posh chaps and their animals up to?
I was rather worried about them yesterday as all three of them are rather portly gentlemen and chocolate can't be good for them so I confiscated it. I allowed the carrot to stay.
Today they are consulting a map. It won't get them far but I'm not sure if they could charge their SatNav on a camel's back.

Great quiz!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love quizzes and want to brag I knew the answers to all these🙂. Too much watching The Chase perhaps?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for putting this together

Have a gold star!
DeleteEnjoyed the quiz! I got 4 out of 6, including the country St. Nicholas was born in. Those posh chaps need to learn that they have to follow a star and not look at maps! :D
ReplyDeleteMaybe they'll learn that star following is a good idea. Who knows?
DeleteAre the posh gentlemen a bit lost? Tell them to follow the star. Now I am busy trying to figure out how many gifts are given in the 12 days of Christmas. Now does a partridge in a pear tree count as two or one.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The posh gentlemen haven't moved off yet. They usually have a circuitous route when they do.
