[kalahari]

.....and a Packet is a type of ship

[Patsy33]

Bit obscure, but tar= sailor who's on the packet = ship

15a. Yes a reindeer

[jenniferd]

Thanks All. Ref 13d - you learn something new every day. It's the remembering it that's the problem!
Reindeer for 15a still seems a bit obscure.

Govern love - Reign Dear
