Cryptic crossword No 2,207

Lovely stuff Meles, thanks for a cracking puzzle. On the easier end which I appreciated as I'm feeling quite a rusty setter at the mo, with entertainingly smooth surfaces which I always appreciate. Favourites include: 11a (smooth), 13a (clean), 17a (neat), 24a (fun def), 26a (nice), 2d (fun), 7d (nice construction), 14d (neat) and 23d (fun)

Great puzzle Meles watched this on the Cryptic Sunday stream. Podium from a number of favourites comprised of 2d (COTD), 4D, and 21D. No quibbles from me. Thanks again

Fabulous - 2d an absolute gem of the genre. Also liked 15a, 20a and 5d. Thanks!

Well done Meles. Sorry to take a while - struggling to keep up whilst finding time for my own projects. Smooth and enjoyable as always. I agree 2d is a star clue. Other likes inc 11a, 20a, 26a, 6d, 7d, 14d and 19d. Thanks. PM

I enjoyed this, favourite is 12a and I also liked 11 and 20 a lot
