    Thank you for a fun puzzle that also has me daydreaming about a narrowboat holiday.

      Thank you for solving it! (And thank you for spotting the canal theme)

      Thanks! Some really clever clues. Does 27A need a container indicator?
      • Ookpik constructor · 2023-12-17T11:43:11.039Z
        Thank you. I was hoping the second 'drinks' would work as the indicator. The BEES are 'drinking' the R.

          Very clever; obviously too clever for me 🤣

            I think "drinking" works better than "drink".
