And those shepherds in the Canaries never leave home without their pole in hand, never mind the Flemish canal-jumpers! 😉

Thank you @LukasB @TheresaV @Martin-O2 

Pleased you all enjoyed the quiz. Well done on each of you getting a Red Thinker - without help wink

I think it might get a little competitive between the admin in future WRQ joy

 

Thank you @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz. Well done on getting a Bronze Thinker. You were not alone in guessing the Lantern Festival question. The Dutch event was a difficult one, too.
