Some question I know, some I don't. I am looking forward to the answers.
That beans and radishes recipe sounds delish. Thank you.
I am not a royalist but can only applaud Queen Elizabeth's fortitude and hard work.
...another quiz that I'm clueless of.
Genial mes. Te mando un beso.

I'll admit to having to guess most of the answers this month. I think the Queen has done a great job, seventy years of service.
Great fun I love your monthly quizzes even if I don't know most of the answers.
Happy June to you! Take care, enjoy your day!
I guess I know nothing about June! I am looking forward to seeing some news footage of the Queen's big day!! Enjoy the week.
Your queen continues to astound me!!! As for the quiz, I think I know the flower & gemstone (and guessing on the solstice). That's all tho. The green bean/radish side dish looks great!!
I will await the June answers! The green bean dish looks delicious!
I think I got four right. :)
The radish and green been recipe sounds really delicious. The celebration for the Queen should be fun!
Happy June! Wishing you a wonderful month ahead.
June was hard. I can only think of one I know for sure. I'm off to see the rest that were guesses on my part.
I ave a ton of green beans. Too bad I didn't plant radishes.
i skipped over the answers so i could play along, sadly, i don't know any. the green beans look delicious, i love the crunch of radishes!! the queen looks wonderful!!
Great quiz and I love this salad. Have a nice day.
I have three of them.
Qeen Elizabeth looks perfect. I loved her yellow outfit very much. Happy June
