Hi Winnie and other old friends. I was not going to do the quiz this time as in the middle of house selling and then the most dreadful family bereavement one could ever imagine. My dear friend who does the quizzes has coaxed me gently back into it and I am glad as it is helping me take my mind off the recent tragedy. Still need lots but am working on the clues already given but stuck on what are probably very simple....18..21..26 (have read clues but no luck)..30..39..40..51..57 (again don't understand clues) 59..63..69 - is it Emma Woodhouse?..81..82..85..86..90..92..93 A lot I know and plenty of time to go but some help would be very much appreciated without me getting told off!!

Thank you to bazza, clue 33 and loobylooby, clue 84.
My sanity is restored!!!!!

Got it now - thank you

winnie - 49 is not Westminster, I wasted a lot of time on that road. Think Oxbridge.

Please could anyone give a few pointers to
32 Surprisingly easily I go to get meat for the animal (8)
41. Oriental during dynasty shortly put on food -this? (4,4)
Thanks

Thanks bazza for your warning re 49. My thinking is:-
tom = name for a big bell
is attached to pet = cat
Indicating its sex .
I think I must have been thinking of the Great Tom at Westminster Palace prior to a new one called Big Ben.
Not sure of your Oxbridge clue. ( I thought I had finished too !!!)

I was thinking BB, did not know of Westminster Great Tom - but there is one in Oxford. If we are both happy with 28 we are finished.

Amen ! ( if that is not too irreverent !)
At least we are both happy !
