Good morning friends. Hope today's offering will blow those 'cobwebs' away. Enjoy! J

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!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.


1. Washed out when taking the A51 from Wales (6)

2. Top craftsman’s letter of thanks for hospitality? (6)

3. Invigorating and fashionable cobbler (7)

4. No need to play hide-and-seek as it’s worn out in Africa and the US (7)

5. Hard-wearing dark clothing – ‘er weakness (11)

Good morning Jolan, hope you and yours are well. Nothing comes to mind on the first sweep but I shall persevere :)

Nice to see you RE. Hope the body is continuing to repair and that you are feeling well. J

Oh dear, struggling today Jolan.......can't see any as yet! I've have to do the garden as well today so not holding out much hope.

Hi Andy
Just stepped in from MY garden and peeked in. Glad they're proving a challenge. I'm off back out now while the weather is great.

I could swear that #4 is one of your trademark clues - but I can't find any sign of it in Chambers. As for the rest - what did we do to offend you :)

Only see 1 and 3 right off. Do you wear an evil grin when you're out in the garden enjoying yourself?

I have #3 :)

Still missing 2 and 4. Evil. I'll get you yet.

Who's a cheeky boy then? Driving me mad, jolan, but I have #3. Off to sit in the sun and ponder.......
