I've ground to a halt - could do with a couple of answers to get me going again!

14,23,22
4 got up - try 15 across, possibly - with lucerne (mostly) put on the herb stall, say? (1,4-3,4,4,2,3,2,4)
The answer to 4 is patch and the clue for 15 is tick off for being concealed in church (5) --i--

a -o-- --d ---y --i- -- o-- -s -i--

No - not patch - a blue peter dog. And answer is a quote relating to that answer.

I don't understand 10a Biblical region of gold in work by Damien (unsanctified) (5)

O_H_R

Other? Why?

Thanks but still confused!

10a is ophir

Thank you!

What was the name of the first dog you can remember on Blue Peter? Pre-Shep?

Just google blue peter pets - Petra!

Biblical region of gold = Ophir
op = work (opus)
hir = (Damien) Hirst minus St(saint)

work = op
Hir(st) unsanctified (unholy)
ophir tiberian port mentioned in bible

Petra is known as
a rose red city half as old as time

Just googled poet who quote at 14, 23, 22a is from - and never heard of him. Could have sworn it was by someone familiar, like Keats. Funny how one absorbs these lines, with no idea of where from.

check Petra on wikipedia
