Hello everyone. Snow today !! Very early this far south.
51 - no problems, but I am not convinced by my answer to 10 ac - a pesky little four-letterer.
I`ll be interested to see what others say. Mags.

`Morning Rossim. I don`t want to give too much away, as some people won`t have got the RT yet.
The clue is` left hand first for engaging bar`
I have ? A ? L and the answer I`ve got can be read both ways. One way - what a train runs on. I just can`t see where `engaging` fits in.I don`t think such a person is engaging! mags.

Try a 3-letter word for an aqnimal's hand + left = what you're looking for (I didn't know it either) -- certainly not what you've got!

I think left might mean taking away. It goes with the word you have but I won't spoil things. I don't think the reversed word is relevant.

Hi,All.

RT 51 not too terrible and I agree with what greedy kite suggested.

Two RTs within a week. All very nice, but somewhere along the road, we are going find a big black hole. A void with no crossword to fill it. Let's hope Santa brings a book of crosswords to bridge the gap.

Life has been a bit busy lately, so I tend to do only those crosswords with the possibility of a prize at the end. Talking of which, I picked up another Catholic Herald prize the other week. Still awaiting its arrival.

I saw some signs of snow on the mainland yesterday, but happily, none here yet.

Hope all are well.

Best wishes.

Hi pipesmoker et al

Awaiting bad weather tomorrow, though it has been lovely today.
