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   By the way are you new to this site or am I a bit out of date?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.
