Good morning

Rise and shine, members! It's another beautiful Monday, so grab a cuppa and let's usher in this day with a smile and maybe a bickie or two 😉. How was your weekend? Perhaps you tried a new recipe, immersed yourself in a good book, or conquered a crossword puzzle or two? Whatever it was, I (Vella) hope it boosted your spirits. Now, it wouldn’t be a Monday without a brain-tickling riddle:
