(Turning on the autocorrect.....)

Miss, would you check my answer? I had several guesses including one that said 'four button holes'. Does that count?

willa. Pedantic comment
1. Buttonhole is a flower to gentleman or lady wear on lapel for wedding - can cause a lot of angst depending on how closely you stick to tradition. I have a wedding etiquette book - whole chapter on buttonholes. Nothing on how to keep the peace.
2 Buttonhole is the hole you put the button through. I have a sewing machine that makes nice ones?

So really the photo is of the holes in a button - but I’d accept your answer - see what Miss says. I think you’ll get an apple.

I’m just sore that I didn’t get close. Tomorrow is another day. There was NO chocolate in my supermarket delivery ?

Marydoll Tue 26-May-20 21:44:36

I did see your pm Willa. However, you offered four options, so I was unsure which one was your final answer. wink

Marydoll Tue 26-May-20 21:45:57

Willa ?grin

Nortsat Tue 26-May-20 21:58:38

I just made a second (incorrect) guess.

Now we have been given the solution, I have revised my opinion of you MD and I realise you are worse than wicked ... I suspect you were “born in a crossfire hurricane...”

Marydoll Tue 26-May-20 22:13:38

Nortsat, you ain't seen nothing yet! ?

Chewbacca Tue 26-May-20 22:16:04

Doodle Tue 26-May-20 23:11:12

Perhaps we are the only two who got it right callistemon. ?

Callistemon Tue 26-May-20 23:21:52

I've eaten the evidence, Doodle, well, two of them. I left two for you wink

willa45 Tue 26-May-20 23:47:11

Thanks for your posts Miss Doll and Feelingmyage. I never expected to get within 'striking' distance of the correct answer!

PS. I'll take the apple (and the grin)

Chewbacca Tue 26-May-20 23:50:34

Be careful willa,MissMarydoll has an alarmingly accurate "striking distance"; as I know to my cost. rubs bum thoughtfully
