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 )

Tiny tear you are a star, I only have one left to get now :)

Clue for the gallery. The main character’s surname is there to see.

InglouriousBasterd · 11/11/2021 15:49

I’ve got the gallery - I was totally overthinking it!!

I'm stuck on toy shop, tara's caramels, natural history, nun, dog, stop sign, paradise boulevard.

MadisonAvenue · 11/11/2021 15:51

Right, got the toy shop now.

InglouriousBasterd · 11/11/2021 15:52

The dog - he’s doing something strange at night.

shumway · 11/11/2021 15:57

Thank you!

MadisonAvenue · 11/11/2021 15:58

The toy shop is basically what’s in the window from left to right.

shumway · 11/11/2021 16:00

Ah - thanks - got it.

BeefSupreme · 11/11/2021 16:01

I’m really not good at this type of puzzle. I’ve only got 4

TattiePants · 11/11/2021 16:05

I've got 8 easily plus Paradise Boulevard thanks to the clues above. The rest are going to take some time....

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 16:06

caramel, what is a main ingredient, and looking at the chimney, what happened to it?

TinyTear · 11/11/2021 16:07

Nun, what is another word for Nun?

TheDrsDocMartens · 11/11/2021 16:10

I’m stuck on man and the C as it’s not what I thought of and I can’t think of anything else.

InglouriousBasterd · 11/11/2021 16:11

Done it!! I’m so unreasonably happy!

Anyone struggling with nun - what’s another word for a nun?

Rememberallball · 11/11/2021 16:12

Can someone the please provide a link to it

InglouriousBasterd · 11/11/2021 16:13

You’ve pretty much said the answer in your sentence! How old is the man and what’s he carrying?
shumway · 11/11/2021 16:13

Got the nun thank you. Still being dense about the caramel, natural history, stop and paradise.

MadisonAvenue · 11/11/2021 16:15

I’ve seen loads of clues on Twitter for the natural history one but nothing’s helping.

BeefSupreme · 11/11/2021 16:17

Anyone struggling with nun - what’s another word for a nun?

I just guessed that correctly and shocked myself. I’ve never heard of it before. My new strategy will just be saying what I see because it might turn out to be the title of a book. I’ve got 8 now.
MadisonAvenue · 11/11/2021 16:25

I’ve just got the black building, the glove maker and the natural history ones left.

MalfunctioningRobot · 11/11/2021 16:28

I’ve just got the natural history one - think a type of book you’d write in everyday, how old the boy is, what kind of job he might be doing.

I just need the man with the stop sign now.

TattiePants · 11/11/2021 16:33

The Glove maker - the shop owner is the author of the book and think about what you put in gloves (not hands).

The black building - what might the tent be used for inside the building and what time of day is it.

AlpacaMaJammas · 11/11/2021 16:37

I'm at 19, I cannot get the paradise boulevard one. I've tried heaven, eden, providence. Help!

TattiePants · 11/11/2021 16:40

@AlpacaMaJammas think about the perfect place....
