A relation in retirement (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
bedtime story
'retirement' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'a relation' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'relation' could be 'story' (story is a kind of relation) and 'story' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bedtime' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
