41a "Significant points made by e.g. Canterbury fellow on return journey" (5).

N?D?S. Tried going down the Chaucerian route but couldn't see anything there; only thing I can see is NODES as significant points?


Any help much apppreciated

41a Canterbury = SE England DON = Fellow both returned = nodes

Canterbury is in SE England.
A fellow is a don.
Reversed gives "nod ES".

Got several clues where I've got most or all the crossing letters but still can't get the answer.

28a Drink from cask, bidding woman to follow (4,6)
Pina Colada fits.

9d Plant urns may be stored in such places (9)
??n?r?r?a

re(mitten)t

pin/acol/ada

cineraria

Thank you Buddy but still don't see these.

19a Does 'ret' mean 'to soak'?

28a Does 'pin' mean 'cask' and does 'acol' mean 'bidding'?

9d. Now I've goggled the answer (hadn't heard of it) I see that cineraria is a plant, but where's the urns and such places?

sb
yes, ret means soak - normally seen in crosswords
pin is a small cask - 4 1/2 gallons, acol is a bidding system in bridge

From Chambers:

cinerāˈrium noun (pl cinerāˈria)

A place for depositing the ashes of the dead after cremation

Thanks. Also stumped by this:

18d Woman almost taken in by mischief-maker is an arty type (8)
