Dear SKZ
I have just realised that my third guess is for "mother goose". While it is no longer cast in stone, as we recentlt discovered, protocol usually indicates that the link word is not in the clue. "Goose" is so can I please cgange my third link to mother COUNTRY. Thanks and Happy Christmas to all linkers. J
Okay...I'm going to throw the cat among the pigeons. Our newspaper has just arrived, and suspecting a bit of a trap I read the preamble to the crossword extra carefully. KM seems to me to be saying that the links on Monday will all be characters from The Nutcracker. I may have misunderstood, or got the names wrong anyway, but I'm going to take a chance and ask if I can change my guesses to
Snow FLAKE(S)
SUGAR PLUM fairy
Mother GINGER
Mouse KING
Good morning all. Jean and I wish you a Happy Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holiday or Happy whatever else you celebrate. And a good and peaceful 2020.
Gill and Jean - identical answers
Mother GINGER
Snow FLAKES
SUGAR PLUM fairy
Mouse KING
