How are you doing with the words in the passage. I'm really struggling this time - only got 22 of the 37

[bookwormer]

Thanks for answer! As for passage, really hard this time, but so far got 29, really obscure ones like orache, and dodder! never heard of them but I'm still ploughing on! thanks again.

[valerieb1254]

no 1) I keep toying with an anagram of PASS A RUSSIAN'S FROG minus the I.

I Can get SASSAFRAS but can't make the other letters fit

[valerieb1254]

Same with forest trap an insect as an anagram,but can't get anywhere with it.

[bookwormer]

I can get - of asparagus - out of it but nothing else!!

[smouse]

I had dodder but not the other so one good turn deserves another

[valerieb1254]

Well done smouse.

Thank you so much for the answer!! REgarding the passage again, now up to 30, wondered if TEA is acceptable? also have you got DANDILION and GEUM??

[smouse]

When I find it I will have tea - lol and no I didnt have geum

I bet you want me to tell you the forest one now dont you

[bookwormer]

[smouse]

Ignore my bluebell question I've done it now - obviously just needed to be more awake

I've only just got back to the flora quiz, have been struggling with the cryptic clues on the Matlock F.C. quiz, can you help with:-

Playing a tune in Paris (8. 4)

Does Volvos headlamp produce one to shine on a tree (7. 9)

thanks in anticipation

[bookwormer]

Really sorry, I honestly can't remember what answers I put for these, I have sent it off, it was really difficult, and once I'd got the answers I think my brain has totally wiped them from my memory, all I can remember was that I think the volvo one was swedish something, if that follows a logical route?? sorry, I would help you if I could remember!!! also, is the Paris one an anangram? possibly, but I don't want to lead you down the wrong path
