Well I can be hopeful, can't I ?? At the moment the gremlins are still inhabiting the online site and the maintenance link are giving us the puzzles for the 25/11 - not a lot of help.
So the game is in the hands of the early risers, rocky or anyone else, to post the clues here, and then the link words and we'll keep the whole thing on one thread. I'll be back later to see how things are progressing, ciao skz
This is Rocky just arising- here are the clues
23ac ------ hole; Cornish fishing harbour and hamlet described by Dylan Thomas as "the loveliest village in England". (5)
39 ac ------ Wellingtondish of pate-and duxelles-coated fillet steak, wrapped in puff pastry and baked (4)
10dn The Little -----; nickname of cabaret singer Edith Piaf (7)
37dn Flowering plant such as the Papaver rhoeas (5)
and immediately springing to mind are
23. MOUSE
39. BEEF
10. SPARROW
37. POPPY (Havent checked this one yet - just know papaver is poppy)
Hope all this is of help Steff - if I had known of the probs I wouldn't have lingered in bed !!!These cold and frosty mornings are no incentive to leave
the wonderful electric blanket !!!

Fantastic, thanks very much, rocky...I'm sure we can cope with a later start, I know there's little incentive to jump out of a nice warm bed on a cold morning and its much appreciated
Now everyone, you have the words, go to it and Good Luck !!
Having just seen my 'Weekend' where the crossword is found, I can confirm the correctness of the clues. On that basis I will go for
Field Mouse
Roast Beef
Sparrow Hawk
Flanders Poppy
