The second one is TORSO - start to tidy = T; roughly = OR SO; unfinished work = TORSO
Thought you had something wrong somewhere wideboy but not at all!! - It is YQUEM - the writers taken aback = YM when touring that french = QUE; vineyard = YQUEM
Question Author

Brilliant, Biley, should have looked up TORSO - didn't know it meant an 'unfinished thing'!

YQUEM is even better but I was looking up vineyards, the dictionary gives YQUEM as a wine (had vaguely heard of it). I had French 'that' as CET.

Thanks a million.
