Good morning folks - I'm afraid today's start is something of an anti-climax as there's been a bit of a hitch in proceedings and I do not have a copy of the crossword, hence no clues and no words.
Hopefully at some stage, a helpful soul will come along and post the words and things will then get underway, but for the time being, perhaps a few more minutes in bed ??? Sorry, all S
clues are
flattish cap of felt or other cloth traditionally worn by basque people (5)
---- nebula supernova remnant in the constellation taurus discovered by english astronomer john bevis in 1731 (4)
unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour
plant in the genus aster
Having been wakened by CliffyG (on cricket matters) we noticed Seekeerz problems, so I got the words early and will go with
Gordian Knot
Daisy Chain
Hermit Crab
Red Beret
Reply to Seekeerz -
Cliffy and I were at junior cricket last evening; I am out at adult indoor this morning - we have to imagine the climate is as warm as in your locality, but the heating works.
Also, I will ensure that Jess gets a biscuit or two when I see her next.
