Huckleberry?

[Touchstone]

Many thanks swannbaker - but which one is it referring to or am I being particularly thick on this wet and windy morning?

[Touchstone]

Very grateful thanks jcaplen - I'd never have twigged that in a million years

[chelle7272]

I think swannbaker means star in mud, so number 2?

[Touchstone]

Very many thanks chelle - my brain obviously isn't working at all well this morning.

Why is Mark as Best Answer appearing?

[chelle7272]

Doesn't it usually? As far as I know it's to rate the answers you get, like theb old star system.

[Touchstone]

Hi again chelle - I haven't noticed it appearing on most other posts

[chelle7272]

I think it only appears on your own questions?
Sorry not being much help with your other clues!

[Touchstone]

Thanks for your help chelle - I did wonder about apricot for the monkey one but can't quite see it or tamarind even! Brain most certainly in sluggish mode today.

It couldnt be as simple as an anagram of Ape could it ?

[Touchstone]

Pure genius emeritus - I was looking for something far more complex! Just 'Give Edward' left to solve and that's probably staring me in the face!

[Valanne]

Give Edward A Nut = gean (first letters)
A gean is a type of cherry

[Valanne]

Orach (in the clue)
Type of salad leaves

[Touchstone]

Hi Valanne - Grateful thanks - you're brilliant - finished it now, rightly or wrongly!

[Valanne]
