Hi Deb, these were very good questions and hard too. I only knew 2, 4, 5 and 7 for certain, I would have guessed China for no 9 (China seems to be a good guess for a lot of things!) but I would have thought black for Queen Victoria as she was always wearing it! The rest of them, I had no clue, but now I do! Thank you for helping me learn something new today!! I love that!
DeleteVery low score for me today. Not even going to say how many. 😂x
