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.

[Cleoriff]

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 😂🤣

[TallTrees]

We are at that stage now @Cleoriff 

Need a booster 🚀
