That makes three of us (at least) that 6dn has troubled, pipesmoker.

Funny how people find different clues difficult. I had no problem with 6d but my last one was 20ac. I kept thinking the French for `right` ends in `e` so couldn`t fit.
It`s been a long time since the compiler slily used `flower` for a river; almost caught me out!
I`m glad the word `next` is now on the right side of the page, avoiding the ad. M.

Thanks Jazzgirl. Was looking for a cold "chill" and had got a wrong letter in 21a. All correct now.

Re post 12 Yes Chrise. Sorry! The first 5 letters of the answer is/are one of the chess (or draughts) players.

Good evening folks. Well I didn't get to start this one until this afternoon and I have found it tricky. I too was determined that number or numbers was in 9d, didn't think much of 4d and was very surprised at the answer, and now I am stuck on the dreaded 6d - in spite of all the hints! I shall probably spend the evening running it through my head. I loved solving 1d. Cold here now - have the log fire burning away, so at least that makes us cheery and cosy.

Hi angelmcm
Are you asking for another hint?

chrise, not yet, I don't think. I shall let myself be driven mad tonight, then probably come begging tomorrow!

OK - good luck!

Hi angelmcm. The `the foreign` part of the clue should be right up your street!
Unlike you, I`ve had Spring weather here - daffodil shoots 8ins high, bees in the fuschia and the postman in short sleeves. As they say...`We`ll pay for it later`........

chrise, magworth, I did eventually get it. I turned to my husband and asked "Can you think of another word for chill, as in relax?" Oh!
