I agree Mr Light - jazz girl is on fire this week and doing the garden too! By the way are you new to this site or am I a bit out of date? If you are new, welcome. Jazz girl thank you for your earlier hints. I doubt if I would have got that icy stem thing if you hadn`t pointed me in the direction of substituting `track` for another word. Despite all the assistance I am stuck on 3 little words.
2 Down - Court dry, disheartened, animated cowboy
9Across - Parrot goes to unknown summit
19Across - Have laugh on mountain with Athenian character
I do have every second letter already but still the penny wont drop.
