Smile another clue for you.
An evergreen conifer who befriended a playwright! He drives a Ford Prefect.

@Ladywillpowerhas it, Asher!

Asher means happy (positive), Ash = topiary, biblically his brother was Joseph and dad was Jacob. Depiction of a merchant's passing is the play Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller, whose middle name is Asher.

Ladywillpower · 25/04/2019 23:04

Asher?

LadyGAgain · 25/04/2019 22:53

Benjamin?

finallychangedmyusername · 25/04/2019 22:30

So... I think this might be very easy but here goes:

Positive topiary name with links to Joseph and Jacob and a depiction of a merchant's passing.

finallychangedmyusername · 25/04/2019 19:04

Yay, I'm back in the game! Just putting together a new clue now Grin

Ladywillpower · 25/04/2019 11:07

Well done finallychangedmyusername!

LadyGAgain · 24/04/2019 23:09

Ooooh good answer @finallychangedmyusername !!

(Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick, journalist is Polly Toynbee, Polly put the kettle on) ?

finallychangedmyusername · 24/04/2019 19:26

Polly?

Ladywillpower · 23/04/2019 15:34

Smile I spent ages on the Daisy Bell clue & still didn’t manage to solve it!
Here goes
Left leaning journalist with a poorly toy loves a cuppa amongst the burnt coals.

FintyTin · 23/04/2019 13:37

Yes, Ladywillpower, it’s Daisy.

Daisy is a fragrance by Marc Jacobs, and Daisy Bell has a ring to it.
In summer she makes a daisy chain and may live in Hazzard County if she’s a Duke (maybe showing my age there Grin ).

Well done and back to you.

Ladywillpower · 22/04/2019 05:42

Daisy?

finallychangedmyusername · 21/04/2019 21:41

Juniper?

FintyTin · 20/04/2019 17:40

Great clues! I’ll be honest and admit that I didn’t get the Sleeping Beauty reference, though. I must brush up on my Disney!

Here’s another:
This fragrant name has a certain ring to it. She often links up with her friends in summer, but be warned: she lives in a dangerous area!

Ladywillpower · 19/04/2019 21:13

Well done Finty Tin 😃
Flora is one of sleeping beauty’s fairy godmothers.
Flora Poste is the heroine of the book Cold Comfort Farm written by Stella Gibbons
Dame Flora Robson (actress). Alludes to the Musical pairing of Robson Green & Jerome Flynn.
Flora Macdonald helped bonnie Prince Charlie to escape after the battle of Culloden

FintyTin · 19/04/2019 20:42

Flora?

Ladywillpower · 19/04/2019 12:03

Not got it yet but don’t think I have given enough clues!
“Not Maleficent & helper of a bonnie prince”

Ok here goes, Grin, Dorothy?

finallychangedmyusername · 18/04/2019 03:25

Well done @Ladywillpower - I'm pondering your clue right now (with a face like this - Confused) Grin

Ladywillpower · 17/04/2019 20:19

My first go at this so hope it is ok!

A good fairy, created by Stella & partner to Jerome.

FintyTin · 17/04/2019 19:40

@Ladywillpower has it with Stanley:
The comical reference was to both Stan Laurel and Stan Lee. A Stanley knife is sharp. The name means ‘stone field’. The top jobs were Stanley Baldwin, Boris (son of Stanley) Johnson, and Barack Obama whose mother’s full name at birth was Stanley Ann Dunham.

Well done and over to you...
😁
