Thanks glasman. That makes ghost g (tip for wedding) + host (= present). Any thoughts on H_R_T?
Question Author
thanks kayakamina, our posts must have crossed but can you explain horst?
Question Author
Found it - horst and graben are rock formations on Mars. Thanks everyone. Toodleoo
Don't think the answer can be Horst ...How would that work?
Last correspondent is correct! HURST is the answer:
Mars = Hurts. Lower the 't' and you get Hurst.
A group of ash trees constitutes a Hurst.
