@smithy,
Hi Smithy, I haven't finished yet - still a few to go but here's what I've got
1d outreach
7d clover
14d relent
25a strikes
32a crossing
35a anecdote
39a menagerie
40a ordinance
42a entreated
44a diplomats
48a flamenco
Hopefully someone will confirm these are correct and answer the ones I haven't.
Good luck!
Cheers, Soph

@smithy,
I would say 1d is ENTRANCE (anagram of 'a centre' with 'n' for northern). Does that fit?

What is the clue for 11a? I don't have the puzzle, I'm afraid.

@smithy,
Looks right to me (take 'run' out of 'turnips' and you're left with TIPS.

Good luck.
