You're right Rosalind.
Crosswords must have priority!
(and I've never stuffed a mushroom in my life)

I look forward to aristophanes's queries when the dust settles (post 13) I think that's when the real banter will begin and maybe a few strong words will be exchanged which I am sure will add to the fun.
What we must all remember is, I gave plenty of feedback on the clues (57 emails sent back to setters). however, I did point out on these that the setters decision to change any suggestions was their's to consider and I feel that any queries will most certainly involve criticism concerning poetic license and over embellishment.
I sort of hope you have qeries with my clues aristo so we can engage in some friendly repartee...ha ha
Looking forward to the ensuing verbal skirmish.

Truly brilliant - I hope to finish it, but have a few still to do, is it supposed to last until the end of January?

One left, 42D. Suspect this may be due to UK ref.

With Wiki down, will have to try some other route.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Never mind.

Syzygy

It may well be a UK thing but if you've got the other 3 letters it should be "guessable" then confirmed with Google.

As for me, I've got 6 left and appear totally stuck.

11 down took me ages and eventually I had to guess it! I stand no chance with 45a but will battle on a bit longer.

Wendy.

Cricketer is from West Indies - 4 letters. (Last glimpse I got before Wiki blacked out.)
The other bits & definition should do it.

42d exists at least in France as well as UK!

Rosiland and Jazzgirl...

I once took time out to stuff a mushroom, and it was worth it...delicious.

Sorry about that Syzygy, I suppose not so over the pond, like Wendy has said, if you have 3 letters in, you should be able to guess from the latter part.
Wendy, 11D and 45A are both in the Chambers, 45A is a gem from Bullfrog
