Just received the email and can’t believe another year has come around again so quickly. At first glance it is looking tough!

Need to settle down with a cup of tea and get started.

Anyone else attempting (and happy to share clues?! Wink )

Just started now! Got four easily and now am starting the brain racking...! Grin

SparrowandNightingale · 11/11/2021 12:52

Had this in my calendar as a reminder but only have short lunch break today arrrrgggh! I'm on about six.

TheDrsDocMartens · 11/11/2021 12:55

Just started I’ve got 3 and hit the ‘oh is that …. Shit I’ve forgotten the name’

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 13:17

I was looking for this thread!
Only got the Manderley one but haven't looked properly

MadisonAvenue · 11/11/2021 13:24

I’ve only got two so far! 😖

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 11/11/2021 13:25

Got one, will look properly later

hawthornknitter · 11/11/2021 13:28

Have 8 but no clue on any of the others. Will have to have a look again later

Nuffaluff · 11/11/2021 13:30

Hooray, hooray! I love it.
Shall positively not be looking for clues on here though (until desperation kicks in).

InMySpareTime · 11/11/2021 13:32

I have 6 so far

RockaLock · 11/11/2021 13:35

Thank you for starting the thread, @Snoodleberry.

I have 12, but have got them mostly through my usual technique of googling things in the pictures. I have to admit I haven't heard of most of the books that I've got the answers to!

(My other technique is to get hints from this thread Grin)

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 13:40

zooming into the clues is very important, as soon as i zoomed to the glove shop i got it

Sparkai · 11/11/2021 13:41

Bookmarking for when I get stuck!

BlueEyeshadow · 11/11/2021 13:41

Done - with much help from google and Twitter!

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 13:50

i only have 3 and can't guess any clues

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 13:52

up to 6 all of a sudden

Friolero · 11/11/2021 13:57

I've only got 3 so far, this is going to keep me busy!

larkle · 11/11/2021 13:58

Hooray, thank you for starting a thread. I was just about to start one

InglouriousBasterd · 11/11/2021 14:01

Up to eight...some tough ones this year!!

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 14:09

@InglouriousBasterd

Up to eight...some tough ones this year!!
same , got 8 and it's tough!
larkle · 11/11/2021 14:16

Seven here

PiglingBlonde · 11/11/2021 14:17

5 here. There seem to be more when you have to google (unless you know it!) rather than being able to work it out from the pictures like in the old days!

Myfanwyprice · 11/11/2021 14:20

I got 5 quickly, but I’m stuck now! Will have another look (and a good google!) later and hopefully get some hints from this thread 😊

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 14:21

yes some are more obscure this year

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 14:27

is it just me or the whole world is playing, it's really slow!

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 14:27

And im up to 13
