a thoroughly enjoyable thread thank you everyone, my brain simply doesn't work that way, most answers so obvious once someone explains them :)

2. I want to say Hemlock Fir. Only because it has ole within hemlock. It doesn’t fit your first letter criteria, JD.

Got up to let my dog out for a wee!

2 is English Oak ( anagram of ole shaking ).

6 is Portobello, which I think is a mushroom.

You’re all fab. I struggle with cryptic clues. Glad a few of you have enjoyed it. Many thanks for your contributions, at all times of day :-)

Neil, frustrating getting up for the dog but they’re worth it :-)

Spades, sorry to hear about your sciatica. I’ve heard how uncomfortable that can be.

Thanks John.
I couldn't be without a dog. Having to get up once during the night is a small price to pay. At least Lexie lets me know when she wants to go out, she comes and paws the side of the bed.

One of the many things I'm grateful to my Dad for is that he taught me to do cryptic crosswords.

Spades, I too am sorry to hear of your sciatica. I've never had it myself, but I know people who have. I hope it's manageable for you.

"Spades, I too am sorry to hear of your sciatica. I've never had it myself, but I know people who have. I hope it's manageable for you."

Thanks, lakedistrict. I have learned to live with it. Sometimes it is hardly noticeable, other times excruciating. Cryptic crosswords help take my mind off it :-)
