Well, thank goodness for that, after last week's disastrous performance
i nearly didn't finish it before bath time because I became fascinated by Mabinogion which I'd never heard of before. Google taught me...

one clue still eludes me: there are two alternatives and I can't figure out which is right 

One breaking promise backed goddess to bring new life.

The answer is either degenerate or regenerate ( I'm inclined to go for the second ) but I can't really decide. Help please

Hi, Stevenj. Yes, this was much more palatable than last week! I went with Regenerate, to bring new life. The first seven letters give Reneger, one breaking promise (backed, reversed) and then Ate is a goddess. PS I have been wrong before, many times!

Regenerate - reneger (one breaking promise) reversed (backed) + Ate (goddess)

Phew - and thanks, Scorpiojo. I sometimes parse answers only to suit my thinking!

Thank you both. Reneger eh ? Of course!
