Rosie and Jessica's Day of Fun: Recent Episodes
Rosie and Jessica
This is not Nick Miller.If there’s one thing we both love, it’s a quiz. If there’s two things we love, it’s a quiz and Hallmark movies. In this episode, Quizmaster Rosie shares two Hallmark quizzes she wrote in lockdown, most of which is still relevant.
Snacks! Jessica’s got ’em. This episode was recorded in late October 2023, just before Rosie actually moved house (which she may have mentioned once or twice…) It’s still nice! Enjoy!
