Clue Chain

[miser]

Many years ago on another forum I started a game I called CLUE CHAIN. The idea is that the setter poses an original home made clue which everybody is invited to solve. The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue. If anybody is interested in playing my clue is

Bear opening church? (7)

? Tempest

No, sorry Moorea..

[Moorea7]

? Appears   and I thought Canary's clues were difficult!  Miss him.

[Patsy33]

I'll give you a clue or two 😀

Yes, I miss Canary too..

Think on the first word, (all defintions)

[Hazlinny]

No idea!     ?pursues

[Patsy33]

Sorry all, I messed up!

Forget it. Good night x

[Moorea7]

G/night Patsy - see you tomorrow. x

I was thinking 'rhubarb' but can't quite parse it.

Hi, scrunge

Patsy said she'd made a mistake - I think she meant 'barb' instead of 'bard'?

I reckon you've cracked it

[Patsy33]

Yes, your both right..

For some weird reason, I was seeing bard instead of barb....☺️

[Patsy33]

Well done , Scrunge!

[scrunge999]

Thanks Miser and Patsy. Here's a gentle one to start the day with:

Princess burnt badly when surrounded by Reds fans (4, 8)

[scrunge999]

In case anyone is still doing this and needs a hint, 'fans' is the definition, and 'Princess' here is the crossword solver's favourite princess (DI).

Iffy/ Foot disciples

[scrunge999]

Sorry Moorea. It's 'fans' in the sense of rotary machines, and reds are (sometimes very) drinkable. 

[Moorea7]

? Wind turbines     

[scrunge999]

Yes, well done Moorea! It's an anagram of DI and BURNT inside WINES. It reminded me of the joke - what music do wind turbines like? They're big metal fans...
 

Over to you 😀

[Moorea7]

If that's a gentle one, I don't fancy trying to solve a difficult one!!!😉
