Oh no! Should I have given a clue... instead of the whole answer?
Sorry - I'll try to be a bit more cryptic next time!

PS: Jim C - my Norfolk 'claim to fame' is seeing Stephen Fry in Swaffham, as he was filming Kingdom!

Back from mowing and, yes, Blondie has given the answer. This just shows the power of local knowledge, as my answer for no.6 was entirely wrong anyway (it was "Puddledock" on the basis that someone might say of rain "it's puddling it down" and a dock is sort of "terra firma" for people disembarking from a ship).

So sorry for my misleading waffle & wasting your time.

Good luck.
JimC

No worries Jim C. Do not let that muddle put you off.
Blondie - always grateful of either a straight answer or a clue whichever you are prepared to give.
Maybe I need to search further into your local knowledge.

1 The bells seemed to say "Turn again"

31. No storm here (7)
35. Chinese river is of importance (8)
36, A sailors heaven of wine, women and song (8,5)
38. A smelly home for leo

Jean or anyone please help if you can

Hi again Simone.

No.38 ... At the risk of being completely wrong again, there is a 7-letter place in Norfolk, last letter 'n'. The first syllable sounds like a term for any bird used for food or hunting.

Hi Jim C
Thanks for struggling on with my questions.
Am not getting there with your clue at moment, due I presume you are leading me to the word game. Was thinking the last bit would be lion or something like that.
Please expand if possible
Simone

Hi again.

re: 38.

7-letter word, last letter 'n'.
Two syllables.
First syllable (4 letters) = another word for 'smelly'. It also means something for which red or yellow card might be given in football.
Second syllable (3 letters) = 'home for leo/lion'.
