Those doing this crossword will probably be the only ones able to help as the clue I'm stuck on (34D) is one of those related to the topical theme, which seems to be January. It is a 9 letter word C ? R ? A ? I ? N. Thanks for any help and a Happy New Year to everyone!
Do you have 26a and 32d? From my postings yesterday I was given 26a GHANDI and 23d NIXON but I can't get that to fit with 14d COLIN DEANS! Any suggestions?
Thanks everyone for your help! I did get Carnation as a possible answer but didn't think of the link with it being the birth flower of January. Sorry for the late reply - have just been enjoying a lovely New Year's Day meal of venison!
