Good morning everyone - no i haven't run off and forgotten to post the start of our game ....in fact I've been in two minds whether to wait or go ahead ....the link words are very seasonal etc, but whether there's more of a clue for a theme published in the paper or not remains to be seen.
Certainly there wasnt anything of the sort in my down loaded pages, so perhaps I'll leave it just a little longer and see if somebody turns up with more information.
Probably a couple of hours before our DT arrives, so someone else will almost certainly get theirs first, but I'll keep checking. A very happy Christmas to all, and a big wish for a better 2021.
