The last day, the last question( thank god) of the year and of the 2014 Quiz of the Year.

the thirtieth christmas tree of the year, last year's.

So there you have it, the year and the Quiz of The Year.

I hope you noticed the way the accompanying photographs neatly segued from tree to inside tree to decorated and illuminated tree to finished tree, just as the year and quiz itself arrived at the finish.

I hope it was a good one, the year that is – I know the Quiz of The Year has left many (and any) of you totally underwhelmed.

And may the one about to unfold, year that is – The Quiz is unlikely to return, ever – bring you much joy and happiness.

I saw catkins in the hedgerow yesterday so that’s a good omen me thinks.

That or climate change has us done for.

So…..

29) Where to look for today's and tomorrow's answer?

And…..finally….

Just want to wish all a very happy new year!

And thank you Chris for the gift that is called Bits 'n Bobs/Show & Tell -- for the beautiful assortment of festive trees this month, the Quiz [which I cannot take part in this year due to the move to my new home in a little town that time cannot forget]and all of the joy it brings throughout the year. Thanks for all of it!

2015 ... the year for wishes to come true.

It's ironic, but in the time it took you Mary to write that lovely comment you could have answered JUST one question in the quiz correctly - for example the one i gave the answer to on the 27th - and you would have scored double points and walked off with the Grand Prize!

Mary said...

OK - I'll play.

There are 30 trees.

don't let me force you!

Mary said...

My answser was incorrect. There are many more than 30 -- probably almost twice that many if you try to count all of the extra trees in the photos.

No kidding -- I am not good at quizzes.

Don't think I got any of them right!

I don't play cards either - no bridge, no euchre - pathetic really.

incorrect when you say pathetic, correct when you say incorrect, incorrect when you say there were too many extra trees, correct if you look at the details!(captions)
