Good morning. Back at last! Just before the puzzle may I sincerely thank Rossim (who started the thread) and all you lovely people who sent me messages of support. They strengthened me no end. Helen has now no trace of cancer, is continuing her recovery and does not return to hospital for another year. She sends her love and thanks.
I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!
