Rambling among pines, end somehow in Cheshire town (4-10)
I believe the answer is:
long-windedness
'rambling among' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'pines end somehow in cheshire town' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'end' is 'nde' which is within the answer.
'town' could be 'widnes' (I've seen this before) and 'widnes' is present in the remaining letters.
'pines' could be 'longs' ('long' can be a synonym of 'pine') and 'longs' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for long-windedness that I've seen before include "Tedious circumlocution" , "Tedious and spun-out speaking style" .)
