D/T only Eng. newspaper available in Laredo, Northern Spain. After a few guesses, I am left with 4 Dn. "Mrs Witherspoon reportedly got together with Mike out in old harbour (5)" R-S-T are the operatives.
Firefly wants swatting: too many of his/her clues are over-convoluted and very inelegant.

RESET meaning to harbour, from sounds like Reese (ms Witherspoon) but not sure about ET

Thanks Fred. Through a glass darkly I just about get it, but trust I won't be encountering too many Fireflies or glow-worms on my return to the comfort zones of The Grauniad & The Times. Will look up Big Dave's Blog.
