Hobbies / Books   (Gardening, walking, books, films, theatre etc.)

Thought we’d try a quiz tonight.
Not sure how it will go, but hope folk can join in.
Not sure how to mark it as I don’t know if there’s a ‘tick’ function on here.
Worst case scenario I won’t mark, or just post how many correct answers folk have got, that’s if folk join in LOL!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK
