lovatts stinker holiday collection No. 57
Hello back again I thought I could do this without any help but here I am again.

49d Coffee-shop worker

145a mitford girl

186d musical setting of text

204a raised water canal

215a botanical tree collection

271a avid birdwatcher


any help will be most welcomed

daygirl,
you don't say how many letters...so they are pure guesses at 4.04 GMT:

145a Nancy or Unity? I know they're are other Mitford girls, but they are the two well known

204a Viaduct or aquaduct?

271a Twitcher?

Hi daygirl

Can add to smorgs submissions:
Providing letters and length of words would help people who do not have access to Lovatts magazines.

49d = barista
145a = unity
186d = cantata
204a = aquaduct
215a = arboretum
271a = twitcher

Hope this helps.

hi all,

I thought the correct spelling is AQUEDUCT not AQUADUCT? I just checked to dictionary so I don't look like a fool!

Hi conorbear

Well done for checking the words! Typo on my part, had 'aqueduct' in my solution. Hope daygirl reads your message.

Regards Dutchy

AQUEDUCT and GUTTURAL are 2 words which have stuck in my head--both because in my early Lovatts days, I spelt these words incorrectly in comps where you got a certificate if your entry was correct.

Unfortunately on both occasions, I got one word wrong in each!

Stinker again
Did anyone have any trouble with 66 across. I've looked in everything and just can't get it.


clue: Dances in triple time
pattern: R-L-Z-S


I've checked and the other answers seem to be correct.

anng

the answer should be WALTZES

your down answer must be wrong

Hi anng

Your answer is "waltzes".

You obviously have "storage" for 51d, whereas it should be "stowage"

Hope this helps.

the mitford girl is unity. i need 112 down,,183 across, and 197 across please

Hi fiona39! Welcome to A2K!

Glad to help -
112D CHIAROSCURO
183A NEF
197A CAPO

Hope this helps. We love to help each other when we get stuck. However, it makes it easier for us all if you give the clue and any crossing letters you have been able to work out - perhaps we can remember the word without having to go and get the book, look up the clue, etc. Also, sometimes we can pick up an error in the crossing letters.

Good luck!
