2 Fresh not in spasms
16 Blasts direction in
22 Soundly apt
24 Quietly begrudges

Hi Creoeso.

A couple of clues ...

16 (assuming 6 letter answer) ... A word meaning 'sounds of explosions' with 's' (for south) in it.
22 (assuming 4 letter answer) ... This answer is hidden in a newspaper item.
24 (assuming 8 letter answer) ... Under the Xmas tree.

To be honest, I'm not sure I have the right answer for no. 22 or for no.16, but (for the no.16 answer) there's usually lots on show at weddings (tee-hee) ;)

Hope this helps, not hinders.

working on Jim's hints:-
Bosoms
Peri ?
presents
the last one is the only one I would be sure of

soundly apt I'm thinking is RINGS

Hi Graham
re soundly apt, I'm with JimC on this one(got it from his clue)and it isn't peri, but you were on the Right tracks.

not sure about the suggestion for 16though its a possiblity.
There are no letter counts on this one, and anagrams are announced after the question if they apply (but not with these)

Trevor - I assume the hint is therefore R*** - which I see & understand now but would associate more with a death - then again same thing I suppose LOL

Oh Graham , why so bitter?

Hi Graham.

I think Catholics (in particular) may use a Wedding R*** as their script - don't quote me though.


re no.16: Another (far less exciting) possible answer came to me while thinking of the temporary structures often used for weddings. It's not really much of an answer but, anyway, here's a clue:

16 (assuming 5 letter answer) ... Ecstasy in trinitrotoluene's it!


JimC

Could 16. be GU(E)STS
