Any hints on 16ac, please?
Flower bed away from house gets planted over. (7)
?A?E?E?

Also, I have answers for 8ac and 3dn that I can't explain the wordplay. Any hints on these from RTers, please?

(pinched from AB, chris!):
8a 1st 2 letters of v short word for pleasure + most of word for elegant = def. fleeing
P.S. Can you send me grid & clues, or is it too late?

Sorry GK - I thought your other source was working again.

Thanks for 8ac

hi ChrisE
I've just scanned my RT5 and had a quick look at the two clues where you need hints. 3d if you take the first word of the clue and link it with the third word, this gives you the name of the people who lived on this peninsula.
19d is a word for "cast" ( past tense)which sounds like a word for "finished". Off to get a coffee for my brain.

Thanks for 3d jazzy - very clever clue (it was the answer I had guessed).

16ac is the one I'm stuck on. I can think of a "flower", but can't see any justification for the answer.

I cannot see 16a at all. I was wondering whether it was a flower or river. You think flower, so I will work around that.

Actually, my "flower" is a river!

OK I misread your post. whoops.

I've got a flower (not river) of the Daisy family which fits if you take another word for bed away from another word for a kind of house + 3 letters at the end (which I cannot parse at the mo)

Ah, the last 3 letters are the reverse of a word for "planted" or "put in place"
