Lovely to see you here again Quince. I always enjoy your puzzles and there is plenty of your characteristic humour in this as well as some clever ideas. Laughs for 2d 11a 13a 9a 8d 25d and 27a. Other favourites were 3d 5d 12a 18a 24a 21d and 22d. Will continue in reply to avoid spoilers…

Enjoyed this, thanks, Quince. Some very creative clueing. Favourites for me were 23a, 24a, 28a, 21d, 22d

Super stuff, Quince, thanks. Love the invention and the disguised definitions. Particularly liked 1A, 18A, 23A, 27A, 2D, 6D, 20D, 22D and 25D.

A very nice challenge Quince. I liked 11a for the surface, and some lovely hidden definitions like 28a, 15d and 22d. I needed the annotations for 27a - very clever. 1 spoiler
