[SirChermoula]

Blast it all; don't have picture 2! Oh, spindle tree.

[Wizzy67]

Numbers...if 85 is regal etc...try looking at Hadyn symphony 22

[Tortoiseshell]

Wizzy, you're a star!Thank you.......

[megfitz]

Brilliant. Thank you Wizzy, I was off in completely the wrong direction trying to match museums etc to house numbers.
Any clues to Food 3 or Ships 5 ?.

[Wizzy67]

Sorry still have blanks against Food 3 & Ships 5 and also stuck on trees 1 forecast cover for military advance 7,4.

[kawagino]

I think trees 1 might be Burnham Wood although spelling is different . Do you have another answer for Suitable for Easter but not for Christmas (8,5). Passover Bread does not seem very cryptic for 'not for Christmas'?

[megfitz]

I have Burnham Wood also and in the absence of anything else Passover Bread , but like you not convinced with that. Who or what is Lane is it a place or person ??.

[JanM]

1) which loves wisdom? answer is 22 - a Haydn symphony

[mallyh]

slightly confused .....which ones do you still need ?

[JanM]

Ships (5) In the silence of the sea.
Could you tell me why Numbers (7) is three miles please.
