even with all the clues, im stuck with the cowgirls. I have tried all the variations and nothing works. when I write "country girls" it tells me I'm close, but I can't seem to get there. any clue? please don't say "write what you see" because I may have used every known variation of cowgirl in the past 20 minutes 😅

I'm still annoyed about the box not being The Northern Lights. Or even the Box of delights.

Finally finished. This thread always comes in so handy.

I tried box of delights too.

Friolero · 14/11/2024 19:33

I've finished, i enjoyed that.
Needed a few clues from here, so thanks for the help!

EtonMessy · 14/11/2024 19:42

Done them all except the ghost ! Completely stuck on that one even with the clues on here !

Wolfiefan · 14/11/2024 19:46

So nearly there. Can’t get the quartet one. Neopolitan ice cream is all that comes to mind. 🤦‍♀️

Is the ghost relevant?

Very close my brilliant friend!

TheaDecker · 14/11/2024 20:03

Yes. That is the other word!

Yes.

Wolfiefan · 14/11/2024 20:06

I’m close but I’ve put every combo I can think of. The. A. Series. Novels. Aaaahhhh

Errahstop · 14/11/2024 20:08

You're on the right track. It's the name of a collection/series of books.

Wolfiefan · 14/11/2024 20:09

Everything I’ve seen just describes them as the neopolitan quartet. It’s not that. 🤦‍♀️

Just bastarding Sting to go.
I was positive the girls was Even cowgirls get the blues, because they are and the books are about blues. I think my answer is better.
But Sting-pleeeeeeease people!

Me too! I was even trying to see if one had a very long thumb... 😉

EtonMessy · 14/11/2024 20:17

CaptainMyCaptain · 14/11/2024 20:03

Yes.

How have I got all the other 19 but completely stumped on this one 😩

Ekal · 14/11/2024 20:18

I've got 15 - stuck on cocktail one, child dressed as ghost walking through door, the "Workshop: writing women" one, the corporal with the smiling hat, mirror (or magnifying glass), saucepan and spool of wool (cotton reel?) with needle (darning needle?) and the barbershop quartet. I tried "Slaughterhouse-five", as I gather a barbershop quartet features in that, but no luck! For the Sherlock Holmes one, look at the overall scene as well as the details.
