33. Weed back after harvest. (4,3) I immediately thought of pot when I read weed and "back after" made me spell it backwards. Then harvest made me think of crops CROP TOP
34. Fox jumps off the digitalis. (6) I had to google digitalis and found that they are sometimes called fox gloves so GLOVES
35. French friend in unusually close embrace. (8) A friench friend is ami and then I unscrambled close to get CAMISOLE 36. Carbon hot rocks appear after Welsh lake.

Abbreviations following a triangle? (7,6) BERMUDA SHORTS 45. One using scissors on sports day? (6) CUTTER came to mind but I can't find anything UK to wear that is called a cutter and I can't figure out what sports day has to do with it. 46. Dip in a forest reveals all. (8) PINAFORE 47. Cat or dog, maybe, with nervous twitch and porridge maker. (9) Well, a dog or cat are pets, a nervous twitch is a tic which gave me PETTIC and that leaves OAT to make PETTICOAT but I have no idea what that has to do with a porridge maker. 48. Idlers’ choice?
