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 )

[quote TattiePants]@NoDecentHandlesLeft you can zoom in. Click on the image and it should bring up the image in a small box to the left of the text box with a magnifying glass icon.[/quote]
Thank you! Not sure how I missed that!

I've got Paradise Boulevarde now - this helped

www.thesaurus.com/browse/paradise

Some ideas for synonyms.

TattiePants · 11/11/2021 17:15

@Stillbloodyraining there is a word in the window of the gallery.

Mediocrates · 11/11/2021 17:15

@TheDrsDocMartens If they can't find the nun then she is...? Also, what title are huns usually addressed by?

MadisonAvenue · 11/11/2021 17:16

I’ve just randomly got the natural history one by putting a few words together, never heard of it.

SophieHatterPendragon · 11/11/2021 17:16

Ok got paradise finally

@CaptainMyCaptain I’ve tried that! I can really tell his age but I’ve tried so many combos and nothing

The stop sign again I’ve tried so many combos but nothing.

Also the word in the gallery window

This is making me feel stupid now Grin

BeefSupreme · 11/11/2021 17:16

@CaptainMyCaptain

I've got 15 now

I'm stuck on: t
the Stop sign
French people on a bike,
Tara's caramels
The toy shop
Paradise Boulevarde

How do the French people look? Do they have happy expressions?
Mediocrates · 11/11/2021 17:16

I'm still stuck on:

Natural history museum (despite all the clues!)
Cyclists
Stop sign
Things

MadisonAvenue · 11/11/2021 17:17

Just the black building on the top left and the glovemaker for me now.

TattiePants · 11/11/2021 17:17

I've got 18 and can't get the sad french couple or the boy outside the natural history centre (diary something?)

Gufo · 11/11/2021 17:17

Oh I love this - am halfway through (mainly thanks to the clues on this thread!)

Stillbloodyraining · 11/11/2021 17:18

@TheDrsDocMartens ah, hadn't realised things was not part of the gallery. I've got things, so just gallery to go now. Thank you

CaptainMyCaptain · 11/11/2021 17:20

@MadisonAvenue

The black building is fairly straight forward - what is inside and when can you go in?

The author's name is over the shop. Gloves keep your ..... warm.

SophieHatterPendragon · 11/11/2021 17:22

FINALLY got the damn stop sign and the boy

Just the things now. Which I thought would be simple but isn’t?!

CaptainMyCaptain · 11/11/2021 17:24

Just the Toy Shop, the cyclists and the Stop sign now.

CaptainMyCaptain · 11/11/2021 17:25

Describe what you see.

Clue for the French people - ignore the bike

The stop sign man was awful

londonmummy1966 · 11/11/2021 17:26

I've got 17 don't get the Paradise road sign, the stop sign or the man with the balloon

TattiePants · 11/11/2021 17:27

@CaptainMyCaptain list what is in the window from left to right.

Mediocrates · 11/11/2021 17:29

Yes, I got that one now thanks.

CaptainMyCaptain · 11/11/2021 17:32

Got the bike one now - that was very sneaky.

Gufo · 11/11/2021 17:33

The following are making me want to break my laptop :D

Man with Sign
Couple on bike (ignoring the bike)
Paradise Boulevard
Boy with Diary
One more I'm missing

man with sign - no idea couple on bike - think in French Paradise Boulevard - I googles synonyms for Paradise then googled them by turn with alternatives for Boulevarde. Cheating? Boy with diary - what is he writing about?

Have you found Things in the Gallery window? I thought it was all one clue at first.

CaptainMyCaptain · 11/11/2021 17:40

Just the stop sign now. I really should stop and do something else but I can't stop until I've finished.
