From Crosswords to Quizes - Brain teasers space!

Hello @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @CheerBear, @Phoenix_Rising, @Former-Member

Hi everyone 🙂

I thought I might drop off some cryptic crosswords clues to leave here in case anyone wants to play along at some stage. Hope that's ok!

I will leave these here for @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @Phoenix_Rising, @Zoe7, @Ant7, @Pepsimax, @soul, @Maggie and anyone else who might want to play too 🙂

ACROSS
1. Rover goes between leaders of Portugal and Britain with an old wise saying (7)
9. Withdraw to quiet place of meditation (7)

DOWN
1. "Say, pass Leigh the garnish" (7)
2. Cushioned footstool given by Occupational Therapist to man (7)

For anyone who doesn't know how to solve cryptics, they can seem intimidating and confusing to start with but there are heaps of 'tricks' to solving them. I find them easier than straight crossword clues because the answer is already there in the clue - it's a matter of finding or seeing it.

Is 1 down Parsely @CheerBear? {I've never even attempted cryptic ones before, good explaination :}
