Wishing I were in France: Time for a little quiz

Time for a little quiz

Being very busy at the office, I find it hard to write a complete blog post these days. By the time I get home, my eyes are in very bad need of a rest from the computer screen.

But I'm not letting you down; no way! So here's a little something 'to keep your little grey cells working' as the Belgian detective Hercules Poirot (Agatha Christie's brainchild) used to say!

A second look is enough to know what this is made of, but what is it and where did we see this? It's somewhere in the Loire Valley of course, and if you have visited the place recently it shouldn't be too difficult ...

The answer ... on Friday! First prize? A box of Belgian chocolates.

I mean it!

Ready, steady ... GO! Good luck.

chm said...: It’s a “Bonne Maman” sundial as a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci in Clos Lucé, in Amboise. LOL; 19/07/2012, 08:58
Bob said...: Those are lids and tops for jars and bottles. Location, I don't know. Plus I don't know what it is? The US folks are at a disadvantage here, so we get a half a box of chocolates!!!; 19/07/2012, 17:10
Carolyn said...: All I know is that somebody at this place really really likes to eat jam. It's a clever idea to re-use the lids.

I hope I wake up tomorrow with a good idea about where this might be, because who doesn't love Belgian chocolate?; 20/07/2012, 02:49

Veronica, You're right about the jam lids. And That's the clever part of the design.

VirginiaC, Welcome to my blog and thank you for posting a comment. The answer is coming up ...

Vera & Mats, Of course you know! ;)

Louise, Sorry ... no chocolates this time. Better luck next time. :)

Chm, I think Leonardo's house keeper was called Mathurienne. So now we know who the woman behind Bon Maman is! lol

Bob, I know you are at a disadvantage. I'll keep that in mind the next time post a quiz question! ;)

Carolyn, No inspiring dreams then??? Okay then it's time to reveal the solution ...; 21/07/2012, 11:36
