Yes, thank you, @Mi-Amigo, and well done all - good to see @Anonymous back in the saddle, even with her central heating off (!) and @TallTrees in the game!

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

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

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.
