79. The material is 'twill' and follow exactly the edges of 'oversew' - that gives seven letters. 'Turn + a' as in playing a game - it's your..... will give the other 3 letters.

My last three are bugging me.

41.....but used here to burn the meatballs (7)

52. Here's Harry with added value (6.6) Immediate thought was to do with Harry Worth as I think his show was introduced with 'Here's Harry'.

Also there is Harry Lime (third man) and lime is another word for the Linden tree but those thoughts haven't got me anywhere.

Finally, 58. A growth ring round the mountain (4.4)

Any clues/hints would be gratefully accepted. Thanks!

Thanks jojo for the hint - thought I had tried that anagram but obviously not !!

Lady Bee similar thoughts as you on Q52 but no lightbulb moment yet!.

sorry can't help with Q58 or Q41 - more head scratching I'm afraid.

lady bee, 41, look in your Bradford's under firewood or meatball, &
find a common word.
58, look under timber in Chambers, you will find words that mean the same as the answer.

saxon - thanks for your help also. Sorted out 58. via Chambers but as I haven't Bradfords, will pop along to the library tomorrow.

Just seen your clue re Harry so will work on that now. Thanks!
