Thanks yet again syzygy, topical if none too taxing.

Thanks syzygy.
Took me a lot longer than ginge.
But finally finished it.

It has, of course, take me even longer than ginge or sunray and I have not quite finished it. Just the edge ones on the NW side (have PH in the middle) and some along the top. Has the first witch the same name as a lady who is frequently on our TV screens? Surname beginning with M?

Hi ros, I don't watch much telly so don't know who you're referring to but starting top left as per the preamble they enumerate as (6), (7), (8), (6), (8) & (7). I can be more specific on any if you need a further nudge.
As I indicated to syzygy by email, I think it's my encyclopedic knowledge of witches having gone out with quite a few !

Good for you, ginge!
Thanks, still needing 3 and the last witch, I'll maybe be more specific later .

All done now. Think I should read the famous book referred to in clue 1!!
Thank you syzygy, it was a lot of fun and I almost all of them unaided.

It wasn't the right witch, ginge. It is now! x

Most enjoyable. Thanks, syz.

Great fun - thanks as e'er Syz!
