Looks like the Ctrl C & Ctrl V gnomes in the Travel Quiz Shop are having a lie in this morning. The entire blurb is missing in my on-line version. As it read, I was tempted to answer the questions:- 1 = Antwerp and 2 = Chris Fautley, (or maybe No 1 should be "fast asleep in Leighton Buzzard?"). Thank goodness the shop in the next village was open "early doors" so I could solve it from the paper version before going off out for the day!
Thanks for the link, Flonska - I think those in Sunday Times Towers must have their minds on the football and cricket.
Funnily enough, I have a small bowl on my coffee table from the mentioned priory, bought by my Mum and Dad on one of their weekend explorations many moons ago. Gave me a lump in my throat this sunny summer morning.
I do hope, GG, that the bowl's association with fond memories outweighed the poignancy of the moment? If you were to win the trip to Antwerp, this might also help to re-inforce pleasant thoughts.
