Afternoon all. I just can't seem to get a clean sweep just now...

She's one of the clan, like Nell Gwyn, say, but not grand = kinswoman. Something to do with an anagram of eskimo by look of it. 'Say'=EG? Drop the G (grand)? I just can't work it out.

Time to prepare for tea, hosting new cricket side = afternoon. No idea...

Many thanks

Hi PS.

King Charles II of England took an active fancy to Nell Gwyn. You could have said she was the "king's woman".

Hi again.

Second one ... Looks like an anagram of 'for tea' + 'n'ew +'on' ('on' & 'off' are cricket terminology for the two halves of the cricket field).

Many thanks, JC. I'm never going to get a cricket themed clue...

How anyone expects logic from the Daily Mail beats me.
