900 score but great fun. The whole blog tour has been fun and I have enjoyed taking part. Hopefully if my cough getting better does not scare Mack off we will be at Greenway again on Wednesday.
I will also be visiting Torquay early next month to search out some other sites. I spent too much time strolling on the Princess Pier last visit, it is a hard life when you are retired.;o)

I have emerged from my week of madness at the right time - great quiz and jolly good fun (you're right - hopeless in IE6). I know more about Christie than I thought (900 for me). Well done on the blog tour Kerrie

Fine quiz! I stumbled upon the number of Miss Marple novels (I must say I'm not much of a fan of hers, I prefer the Belgian with little grey cells)
