Hello. What a weird time!!! I hope you are well.
SWMBO forbade me going to visit His Nibs or go to the pub. I grumbled but I guess she was right. Anyway,I nearly did the crossword. Nearly because two (little words) defeat me.

12d river's banks eroded constantly.
I have e?e?. Lots of words and a couple of rivers fit but I can't make sense of any.
The other is 52d. " Each year involves leading intermediate stage". I have ? U? A
Pupa (which is an" intermediate stage " fits but I don't get the rest.

To repeat: I hope all of you are well.

12 Ever, constantly. The river is the Severn with the banks, ends, eroded, removed.
52 PA = each year, as in Per Annum, with Up, leading, inside.
Thanks for the kind wishes, stevenj. I'm fit and well and using anything and everything to distract me from the virus!

Thank you so much,NAC!! As ever,once you explain, I see what I should have worked out for myself.

I'm so glad you are well. I trust the others in the group are too

Stay well Steven, plenty time for visits when things settle a bit.x
Stevenj, glad I could help. Sometimes the smallest ones are tricky, sometimes answers become glaringly obvious afterwards - we've all been there!
