Hi,seadogg,it sounds as feasible as mine but I think we're perhaps both on the wrong track! I've thought of all the old punishments but can't fit them exactly to the clue. Silver birch? rack,hanging. It might be just o for old then a punishment. I'm giving up for a while and having a cuppa.
Good evening everyone. Only on here for a very short while tonight.
Could 4. be Hanging something? Like you get hanging basket, hanging geranium or something. I am not very good with plants and stuff. Just an idea for you to work with.
