Where in the world, CP world

Tombolablog is proud to introduce a new game, and one that you can play at home!

In the classic style of 'Where's Wally?', your task is to find CP. This time she is somewhere in the Markt, Bruges. Have fun!


Also try to find:

- A group of Hari Krishnas

- An abandoned pushchair

- An odd looking bike


[Note to self: if this is going to ever appear again, you must take more pictures from up towers while CP hangs about at the bottom]

As I said below, I'm trying to focus on more wholesome pursuits on here at the moment. So how about an exceedingly poor* nature photo? Believe it or not, that dot on the branch is a Little Owl, and I was very excited to have spotted it. And that's a Little Owl as in the species, not just a little owl. Which it also is.

I then tried to improvise a makeshift telephoto lens, using my busted binoculars.


Not really worth the effort, was it?


*my mock Maths GCSE paper was returned with the words 'many exceedingly poor answers'. While I was a bit downhearted and fired up to do better in the real thing, I still couldn't help chuckling at the thought of Mr Kipling frowning at my appalling use of trigonometry.

Apologies for that chocolate-based nastiness. Time for more wholesome things on here I think.

First, some exciting news! Those who enjoyed Tombola's appearance on Eggheads last year will no doubt be delighted to learn that another TV quiz appearance is on the cards. Here's an exclusive behind the scenes reminder of what the last one looked like:

and as we appeared in the nation's living rooms:
