son - doesn’t it depend where you put the gaps

CD (@13), not only did I have the wrong category but also 2 out of the 4 words I had were incorrect. I now have the seven unclued words but struggling to find a common connection linking all of them, so the 8th is currently proving a little elusive.

Thank you candledave. I think you are referring to the 5th and 9th letters of the member in question ?

Yippee - got there in the end. "Son1", that is where my gaps are.

Excellent. Thanks gitto.

Returning to Listeners after a long absence, and relieved that this seems doable ... but have to say I'm still fairly rusty!

Confused by 2ac and 4ac, which I think are the main barriers to further progress, particularly as I am not sure I've got the down entries in the area correct.

As if by magic, I solved them both shortly after posting! But definitely confused about whether I've put the downs in the right order. Possibly the confusion is about what would go at 3dn/9dn, but I'll get to that.

The last across I need is 13ac... I was assuming "a small amount of liquid" might be ml, and pulp is the definition, but that didn't seem to work.

Try a bit more than ml

You're on the right lines for "small amount of liquid"

claretgold, in 13a it’s a larger small amount of liquid than ml. The box is horticultural.
