Many thanks all and to Tyke for the challenge and the prizes, great fun.

It occurs to me that ROSE and BORDER appeared somewhere else this weekend. Some of you will have seen them ;-)

To celebrate the equinox (and the now dead rose) I’m reminded of this short verse by Emily Brontë…

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

Nice one Jon and cheers for the literary offering! Thanks everyone for the votes. Thanks Tyke - I see there were sooo many anagrams possible but restrained myself. Incidentally, what is your anagram counter?

Jono
Sounds like poor old Emily was glad to see the back of the Cricket Season - always a sad time for me, even if we are bottom!
Good work with the crossword grid!

Paul
I use https://anagram-solver.net/ - I think Chrise recommended it,
Click on `here` on the bottom line to generate Anne O`Grammes!

Well done jono; I loved that clue.
Here's to Emily - Wuthering Heights wasn't exactly a bundle of fun either.

Thanks to spike, paul, jono and geeker for the votes.

And to tyke for the top admin.

Congratulations jono! Thanks to tyke51 for hosting. It was an excellent word, but I've been overposting and am trying to cut down on worthless entries.
Grateful to darla, jono, paul, spike and chrise for votes.

Jono @45 - I did notice.

Well done Jono. Good surface.
