Hello. It is snowing here. Good chance to finish off the crossie. One I can't get at all and the others are appeals for explanations. Help please!
Steven

The one I cannot get an answer to that makes sense to me is: Household gods around to protect one in row. I have ?h?i?l and the only word I can think of is thrill but it makes no sense to me. Is there some Greek or Roman ( or anybody else's) set of gods?
The ones where I think I have the answer but need an explanation are:
Nancy's also working with Nickto provide school folder. (4,6) I have e?o?/ c?l?a?. Eton collar fits that and that could be a school folder. But what gives with Nancy and Nick?
The other is: you might say I wait in line for some measure of this. The letters I have suggest " intelligence" might be the answer. But why?
Please help.

Hi Steven

Question Author
Thank you. I obviously have the wrong Lawrence. I had D H and it should be T E, I assume.
And I need to brush up on my Greek mythology! Thanks Mamyalynne ( it it snowing up there? SWMBO was talking to somebody in North Yorkshire who said it was lovely up there)
And thanks Roslyn . The Nancy= French hadn't occurred to me! Doh!
Thanks to you all

I'm in Lancashire, we had snow overnight on Friday and it lay yesterday, only patches left now but yes it did look pretty.

Keep warm Steven.

SWMBO is determined I keep warm! She bought me and insisted I wear a thing called Long Johns. I look stupid . I feel I am like Andy Pandy ( from when I really was little). Fortunately nobody other than SWMBO as seen them. I told His Nibs and he thinks it hilarious. Of course!
steven
Long Johns are making a big fashion statement this year , Mum's always right ;-)
Question Author
And thank you for the article about Lares which I have just looked at. Really interesting! Thanks

And what sort of fashion statement might that be? I am dreading His Nibs actually seeing them which I know he will insist on doing....
