Fertile Crescent unless my brain is going mad was the area around the Euphrates and why the the crescent is the symbol of Islam and the muslim equivelent of the the red cross. Anyway thanks NMS twas a good one.

CARAVANSERAI is one of those words I’ve cherished since coming across it in a novel in my youth.

I particularly enjoyed the getting-on-for-an &lit in 5dn.
