Thank you for the quiz @Mi-Amigo

I know a few of these.

Some will require a think.

Looks like a team effort on a couple and a confirmation on a few.

Teatime mince pies again 😋

with whipped cream is just delicious, maybe the additional splash of brandy too 🤣 adds to the brain power

☕️ 🍵 🎂 🥮 🍥 🥧 🍰

Thank you for your post @TallTrees

I`m sure brandy mince pies will go down well with the tea-time team 😋

Good luck.

You make me laugh @TallTrees. 😂

Every Monday and Weds you invite a bunch of friends round.

You then ply them with a delicious cream tea and now you are adding brandy to the goodies.

I expect it will be mulled wine next week to help with the Christmas Spirit?

I have a vision of the 'tea time gang', staggering home singing Christmas carols 😂🤣
