Herbs And Spices Quiz Answers

[Donnart]

On behalf of Coldstream Community News I would like to thank you for buying and returning my Herbs & Spices quiz, which raised £292. I had 160 entries returned with 115 all correct, a raffle ticket was attached to each correct entry and John from CCN did the draw. The winner is C Chapple, Kirkcaldy and second is A McGregor, Haddington. The answers are below. My next quiz is to raise funds for the Berwick Swan and Wildlife Trust and I will be adding details of this very soon.
