Deadline - 13 January

Nos 32 and 37

Trees and shrubs.

'What Mick, Keith and Ronnie would never gather, they sound such good eggs (4,4)'

('Stones' presumably)


'For example, chestnut horse (though small) is full of energy (4,5)'

The 2nd one is tree peony - chestnut eg = tree and e(nergy) inside pony.

Possibly moss rose (sounds like 'roes'/eggs).

First one is probably something to do with "moss" (ollling stones gather no ....) but can't see the first bit.

Thank you Folks - I had actually 'got' Stones/moss' and 'peony' but roses and peonies sounded to me like flowers, not bushes, let alone trees. It seems I was wrong. It happens you know.
