LALIA CLAYHANGER: The French garlic is noted – and in the confusion she appears, somewhere where raw pottery is suspended?
SHELOB: Revolutionary, in his turmoil, loses Vik for her!
3. Bluster loses its sedentary attitude, and urgency begins. See him.
PERRY-THE-WINKLE: A fondness for babycham, French tea, shellfish and bloomers is evident in him!
UNGOLIANT: Gloin – barmy? Or is it relative? Either way, there’ll be trouble before she appears!
6. Will he be there ages?
7. Avarice of an armed force? Mix it for him. He’s a blogger – with a couple of differences.
FENGEL: Wet place twists limb back for him.
9. An evident gourmand. And an endless Surrey town becomes sibilant for the blissful fellow!

'Periwinkle' is ingenious for 'bloomer,' but actually it was a reference to PTW's love of CRAMSOME BREAD, which the old troll served him for tea and taught him to make. Bloomer as in loaf.

But then, perhaps I should take the credit and pretend I meant both kinds of bloomers (or two of the three?

)

I once used CRAMSOME BREAD as an answer, and called it a bloomer in the clue. A long time ago, though.

You are right about the theme, too.
