Garden area quiet when the news comes on (5)
I believe the answer is:
patio
'garden area' is the definition.
(part of a garden)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for patio that I've seen before include "Exterior paved area" , "Paved area next to house" , "Paved eating area adjoining house" , "Hard surface" , "Spanish court" .)
