Sweet place to see Ashes balls after short programme (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
apple turnover
'sweet' is the definition.
(type of sweet pastry)
'to see ashes balls after short programme' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'see' could be 'v' (short for 'vide', Latin meaning 'see elsewhere') and 'v' is present in the answer.
'programme' could be 'applet' (I have seen 'modest programme' mean 'applet' so perhaps 'programme' could also mean 'applet') and 'applet' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'place' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for apple turnover that I've seen is " afters".)
