I thrive on praise!

In my Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary (!), under swell(ing) I have about 70 entries in alphabetical order. Starting with ltters H to L, there are 11 entries. Of these, THREE have 4 letters and they are Hove, Kibe and Lump.

So I reckon the answer is HOVE (as in Brighton and Hove)

[crofter]

There's more....

Under "creek", I have 12 entries - the last one being WICK, as on the North East coast of Scotland (Oh, this is soooo easy!)

[sarumite]

earthakitten, the Welsh island in no.62 appears to have two variant spellings, either Caldey or Caldy... However, as the answer required is a 9 letter place Kirkcaldy must be correct. Moreover, this Scottish town can only be spelt in this way to the best of my knowledge.
best wishes (S).

Hi sarumite - Do you think I've done enough to tempt earthakitten into buying THAT reference book?

[sarumite]

Hi Crofter - sounds like "Stirling" work to me .... think I may also be tempted to get a copy!! ........ (sorry to hi-jack your posting earthakitten).

[earthakitten]

Hi there sarumite and crofter ... You can hi-jack me any day. You two have made my day. I wonder why I got up this morning !!! Everything I said was wrong, picked up was dropped, touched was smudged ... and that was just this morning ....
Thanks again for the answers. Sounds like a fantastic book crofter. I think I will have to write to Santa ... I have tried the anagram solver you were on about crofter with moderate sucess
I now have 52 answers for Leisure Pleasure and have now resorted to scrolling through everyone elses clues. Keep plodding on EK !
Getting late ... bed beckoning ... Sleep tight you two. xx
