Hi Jerry,
Hope you enjoyed your trip around Scotland. Slow progress today for me and stuck with addled brain on 6A ?????AH.
Regards,
Bob - 30° today here in SW France which does not help the old grey matter!!!

Hi Bob,
Some people have all the luck;I have been glued to
the Tour de France,fabulous views!
However to business the answer is ALANNAH,A Latin
Husband ANNA according to appendix in Chambers is where to look,for Alannah as well,all will become
clear.
Au revoir mon ami.

Hi Bob/Jerry

Back from the land of the midnight sun now and, like Bob, a bit slow with this one. I am glad that Jerry helped with 12a, when Bob had referred to 6a because I have the latter (STENGAH) but not the former !

Regards,
Alan

Hi Jerry/Alan,
I should take more water with the Macallan, Jerry, but now have 12A AND 6A with both of your help. Thanks Glad Jerry is enjoyng the tour.Have been up Tourmalet twice but in a car, thank God!!! I am worn out from watching the Test cricket yesterday evening!!! Good old Monty!!!
Regards to both,
Bob
P.S. What the hell is 4D all about???

Sorry Lads,
I misread Bob's original post an d just saw AH.
4d is an anagram of kindness + cane,the first word
of it is a cricketing term of 5 letters (5,3,4).
If I had Sky I would have watched the cricket,saw
the highlights though,that is how to block the at the tail end.
Jerry

Jerry and Alan,
DOH!!!! 4D snick and snee!!! Getting there slowly;
regards to both
Bob

Hi Jerry,
I would die without SKY (expensive and illegal of course via a Delboy and Rodney in Manchester!!!)
Nearly there but confused in top right hand corner. If 14A is lorikeet it is not a parrot at all so I may have that wrong. Hence I am struggling with 22A and 1D
Off to lunch!!!!
Bob

Hello again Bob,
I looked up the definition in the Holy Gospel of
St.Chambers and it is a small Lory which is a parrot.LOR(IK)E-ET(c)
1d SALCHOW and I think 22a is WUNNER
Very best regards,
Jerry

Jerry,
There are of course two rr's in the lorry I was thinking about when I looked in the Gospel!!! I think I need to lie down in a dark room!!!
Thank for all your help,
Have a good week. Going to Lord's next weekend????
Regards,
Bob
