I've not been keeping so good lately and unfortunately unable to take part in the 'Love Week'.  Yes @Cleoriff & @Mi-Amigo I do enjoy the teasers, but looking over this I'm not so sure I'd have done too well.  Couple of tricky ones in there, but well done all who took part.  Hopefully be around for the next one. 👍
