Thank you! All done. Never completed an Easter crossword before. I won't be sending it off, I've made such a mess of it. Learned a lot of new vocab.
How on earth do people know words like 'oenothera' and 'aspergillosis'? Daft question, I know.

Now I can eat my Easter Egg! Thank you, once again. Especially for your patience. I didn't once hear you say, "Oh, no!"

We don't know these words! Just use the xword solvers and anagram solvers , then check them in Chambers! Keeps our brains ticking over!

Roslyn, you just said "Oh, no!" didn't you? Told you I'd made a mess of it. Ought to use a pencil, rather than a pen.
