Pendleside Seasonal Dingbats Cd 6/1/18

[saintstim]

If anyone is doing this I wonder if they could help me with
22 The word leopard 3 times surrounded by lord 12 times
25 BUE (in capitals)
45 Heike Henke
Heike Drechser
48 The word eleven laying on its side with DRUMBAD underneath.
I have possible answers for 22 and 48 from the 12 days of christmas but the numbers do not match the lyrics. Thanks for any help.

45 noel ..........heike Henkel.....heike drechsLer

22. Presumably you have twelve lords a leaping, but there should only be ten
The collective term for leopards is a LEAP of leopards
Therefore TEN Lords a "leap" in(side)

[JJ109]

BUT - if you look a the original version there were
TWELVE lords a leaping
Scroll down to the variants

[JJ109]

Similarly = there were ELEVEN ladies dancing in the 1780 version

[JJ109]

I am wondering whether 45 could be Christmas Jumpers
As Mallyh has stated there is No "L" = noel = Christmas
Those two people were both athletes Henkel was a High Jumper and Drechsler was a Long Jumper

[mallyh]

yes .christmas jumpers makes sense x

[JJ109]

and in a similar way BUE = Blue noel = Blue Christmas (Elvis)

[JJ109]

Thanks Mallyh

[saintstim]

Thanks for all this. Gives me something to think about with 45. It could be plural of Noel as I have a single one for another answer so perhaps the answer is used twice (for 25) ?

Mike often mixes and matches the twelve days of christmas answers and therefore they do not seem accurate. An old adage is "say what you see". So Lords a leaping I would say is correct.

[mallyh]

I get the 11 laid ies but the drumbad bit I don't get x

[JJ109]

Mallyh
Eleven lay D's dance in(side) - Rumba is a dance in side D,,,,,,D

[mallyh]

doh !!!!! thankyou x

[sedge47]

If there are 2 'Noel' answers one could be 'The first Noel'.

22 On another thread it show the word Lord is in two circles with six Lords in each.
