OK! So I'm losing it. :-))

I've put my clues and preamble on Jazzy's site.

Please go to @Jolan by Jazzgirl

Hello all! Hope the summer went well. I enjoyed the break so much that I find it difficult to start setting once more. I'm thinking about keeping going up to Christmas and, then, decide I'll carry on. Great to be back. Have fun.

I set clues just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Obtain forgiveness from kind of short US apartment people (11)

2. Foreign nursemaid conceals a ring thus (loosely) revealing an ideological policy maker (9)

3. Renovated dhow, in for repair, is completely finished (4,3,4,4)

4. Monastery strike in the manner of first aerial railway (8)

5. Keep border post active with craft in the main (3,3,4,4)

oops. Now it looks as though I've set the clues :( Doh!
I am sure folk will figure it out
