36a Molluscs circling over mud (4) MOJ? if jarta is correct for
37d Going back to look for Shetland ducks (can't parse it but jarta is a shetland word )

scarlett - it has an alternative spelling though.

I have the four possibilities for 12 (two of which seem obviously thematic), but there is nothing in Chambers which fits 1D, so either it's a proper noun of summat's oop. All this 2x2 stuff still eludes me.

Thanks cockie ...sorted those 2 now ...although i don't see the molluscs?

Scarlett, take the 'over' out of the word. The definition of what's left is in Chambers.

Thanks malone . My Chambers has been much used today with this puzzle for defns of words or parts of words I have never heard of ...still can't parse some ...but heigh -ho i now have a nearly full grid though I haven't a clue what the preamble means!!"
