I am all at sea on 46 across -

Many thanks to you both. I must travel more!

This makes my 47 down. I had "outbreak" but it didn't feel right. Clearly, now,

Barista

A tad late perhaps, but well done,

[scorpiojo]

Is the closing date not the 20th Jan then?

Tendril

PS. I think the 'bit late' referred to the Barista answer coming weeks after it'd already been given!

[RichAP]

hahahaha I see. DOH!

[Neveracrossword]

Tendril is Tend/be liable and Ril(e), endless annoy.

Glad you didn't mind the 'bit late' explanation.

[RichAP]

No, didn't mind at all. Thank you.

[Neveracrossword]

... but you didn't notice I gave the Tendril answer?
