The Key to the Pictures

A Picture Quiz - The Key

As seen in my last post, the pictures below all feature in my blogs - or at least, pictures similar to them, either taken at the same time or in a similar place, have featured in some of my past blog pieces.....  

Congratulations to Ben, who was the first to respond.  Unfortunately he didn't get any of them right,  but he wins a meal out (for when we are at liberty again....!) for effort.  Also congrats to Hilsides, who got 14 right, and  she deserves a leisurely lunch on Primrose Hill, or in Kendal, if ever we get the chance....
