Thanks Toorak, getting there. Any ideas about 7a and 5d.?
5d (b) leaching suggested by the winner on another thread
Question Author
I have ?n?e?i?g if 7a is merino, 10 fusilier and 13a tipi ??
valeting
That looks good spicey

How does that affect your letters for merino gill?
Valeting and merino can't both be right. The 2nd letter of 5d has to be the same as the 5th letter of 7a.
Vale= farewell
ting(e)=reduced colour

Could be something else.
Valeting seems to be correct - vale (so long) ting(e)

Merino seems to be wrong
Question Author
I got merino from another thread toorak but couldn't parse it so must be something else as valeting looks good to me.
What crossers do you have for it now gill?
Question Author
sorted toorak. 7a is oorial. Thanks.
Wouldn't have got that. Hard, innit.
Question Author
Taken me all day to finish it !!
IMO not a great clue, Lair (home)
Question Author
once I knew oorial related to himalyan sheep the clue made sense.
