read ???

That was one thought, I’ve got the grid and I still can’t be sure as I can’t readily get the surrounding clues - it’s a very flowery puzzle today, too much embroidery :(

Thanks Steff and good evening all.
Looking at the checking letters from 54a and 57a, I would agree that the answer to 55d is ‘read’.

Well done haras and Sam.

Hi twix and thanks - not a good clue :(

I was thinking 'text' but happy to go along with read. Might wait a bit and try the puzzle when the paper arrives.
