Hello all ‌‌

I've missed out on a couple of the WRQs.  Come back and feels like most of the questions fallen my way. We'll see if my feelings match reality.

A little peek inside my head when I was trying to answer the questions

1. The answer was just in my head for this one.  Never been to Finland before though.
2. Just turned round and asked my daughter.  😊
3. In the year 2525 if a man is still alive……nope, no idea who sang it.  One of those songs that I only know that one starting line of the lyrics and have to hum the rest
4. Don’t ask me how I know that, one of those that you just link to something and it sticks in your head.
5, Know of the castle because it is used in films but counties are not my thing so somewhere in England....so just repeating the question ‌‌
6. Educated guess….what is a coloboma? Hmmm will have to go look that up after I send in my answers
7. One of my fave groups. Hope I haven't gone and got it wrong now. ‌‌
8. Yum, yum, yum
