mix - obvious, now!!

and thanks a lot, again

Hello everyone. I am stuck on the furniture maker clue and the vicar one. Cant remember the numbers but the one crosses the other. Otherwise more or less finished.

It is cold here and I foolishly planted out some begonia tubers which, after the storm on Monday, have had it!!

Hi all - also stuck on 6a) -a-i-w-o- ? suggestions / clues please. Also 13d, I've got the answer but can't reconcile the clue ?

hello Mondrian
Sorry to hear bout your begonias!
1d Vicar to bolster soldiers (5)
Answer is a synonym for Vicar. (The soldiers are Royal Engineers (initials)
6a Furniture-maker rested among the trees(9)
(It is a kind of wood used to make furniture)
Hope this will help.

hi devonian
I almost missed your post.
13d Scientist runs out of roll film (10)

"roll" = "brioche"
+ mist (film)

Oh! so very obvious when one has the answer for the furniture maker. I do watch quite enough antique roadshow type programmes to have known that! Thank you Jazzgirl The vicar clue will come too,

* minus the r(runs) from brioche

Thanks Jazzgirl - all so obvious when explained !

Are they getting harder or is it me? Struggled again with this one but just one more to get now 17a. Just can't seem to think of anything - I've got -r-o-r- so hints please. Thanks
