JACQUELINE GOLD 5) Nothing is better in Summer than a vanilla ice cream! What plant does vanilla come from? ORCHIDS 6) Which American playwright wrote 'Suddenly Last Summer'? TENNESSEE WILLIAMS 7) Druids celebrate the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge - in which county? WILTSHIRE 8) Some wild tortoises sleep through the Summer - like a hot hibernation - what is this called? AESTIVATION 9) The 2012 Summer Olympics are to be staged in what city? LONDON 10) The character Summer Quinn appeared in which 90s US show - popular with dads? BAYWATCH There are lots of songs about Summer - who first had a hit with the following? 11) Long Hot Summer STYLE COUNCIL (although apparently there was a different version sung by Jimmie Rodgers so a point for that as well) 12) In The Summertime MUNGO JERRY 13) Summer In The City THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL 14) Summer In Siam THE POGUES 15) Schools Out For Summer ALICE COOPER 16) Summertime Blues EDDIE COCHRANE 17) Here Comes The Summer THE UNDERTONES 18) Summer of 69 BRYAN ADAMS 19) The Boys Of Summer DON HENLEY 20) Cruel Summer BANANARAMA and finally: 21) What musical features the song 'Summertime (and the living is easy)'? PORGY AND BESS Good luck everyone, I'm working on British Summer Time so the competition is open until 10pm on Sunday! Great efforts all round, and a very creditable and high scoring fourth place goes to CATHERS. Wow! Here is an SW quiz first - a three way tie for first place! The roll of honour shows that: CALEDONIA PUSSYGALORE ETHELANDEDNA all got a brilliant 14 correct! Well done to you all, thanks for taking part! Last edited by WriterNick; 11-07-2011 at 10:39 PM.

Thanks for your attempts guy n gals! Maybe my brainstorm of putting 10th June instead of July put off some entries but all of the entries were of a very high quality! You did very well too Cathers, and nearly made it a 4 way tie so please don't feel that you did poorly but as we have an unprecedented three way draw for the win I will leave you to sort out who does next week's quiz
