[charity-baker47]

Thank you all so much. I keep saying I'm not doing this one but it's like a magnet

[vakayu]

Hi charity-baker here we go again I did not answer a few as I am not sure myself and do not want to put you wrong,I have :-
16d evilly
19a ditch
17d acorn

[charity-baker47]

thanks vakayu. What have you got for 22a?

[vakayu]

Hiya please don't take my answers as gospel I really am stuck with this one,I think this is getting the hardest crossword I do,and I do quite a few.I see the answer to 22a given as sailing,but I don,t understand why.If sailing is correct I would then have ?c?n?

[charity-baker47]

I agree about it being the hardest crossword. we must be gluttons for punishment

[charity-baker47]

vakayu could 17d be acone?

[vakayu]

It passes the time annoyingly,I was thinking leisure would fit for 22a but then that knocks two more out,so I give up,for now,anyway.Sorry can;t help any further got me stumped,have you any brilliant ideas?
