Thanks so much.

Have done all except 1 down and 1 across - Guardian of scouts at sea --s-o- and portmanteau that's taken on 18 down visit with queen and lieutenant missing --u-n-l (18 down is French). Have I got something wrong?

You're on the right track with both: you need a Latin word for guardian (anagram of scouts), and tghe other one is a word formed by merging two others meaning s'thing connecting Britain with the Continent!

Custos - anagram

Chunnel - portmanteau word

Channel Tunnel minus (Queen) Anne and LT

apologies theworm, did not mean to give game away, thought you wanted answers and a parse - mea culpa

Thanks greedy kite! Did both as soon as your message came up

That's alright mamya - it was a great puzzle and I do enjoy the help forum correspondence!
