It's always the short words that give the problems! Help appreciated for :- 7A "Knight keen to go west with bed *I*A*, 10A "Extra far-reaching" *I*E, & 19D "Marchland shrub - where ? In France" *A* O* . Further clues please.

& Divan, bed. Avid is 'keen', reverse it because it's 'west' and add N for knight.

10 Wide - it's an extra in cricket and it means far-reaching.

PS I find your * hard - ??? for blanks is a bit easier!

hints only requested:

19d 3 letters for a shrub + 2 letter word for "where" in French

Thanks Malone - point taken. 19D ??

And thanks Jazzgirl

Sorry, I think I was distracted by the * and didn't see the 'further clues please'!

"stars in your eyes " :)

... or 'expletives deleted' - that's often what asterisks signify!

Two I don't like much

Easy enough if you have the knowledge; impossible if you don't!

13d Engineers' tiny amount of light change (10)
Why "tiny amount"? It could be 99% of the whole.
