Parcels around wood offered to holidaymakers (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
package deals
'offered to holidaymakers' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'parcels around wood' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'around' could be 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'c' is found within the answer.
'wood' could be 'deal' (deal is a kind of wood) and 'deal' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
