Where, in Ireland, love's to blossom? (4)
I believe the answer is:
mayo
'where in ireland' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'love's to blossom?' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'blossom?' becomes 'may' (I've seen this before).
'o' after 'may' is 'MAYO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mayo that I've seen before include "Irish county -- salad cream" , "You'll find it in the Emerald Isle" , "Ir. county; salad dressing" , "Cold, creamy sauce (abbr)" , "Irish county - sauce (abbr)" .)
