Quick crossword No 224

Really nice Wombat. 3d was the only one that gave me pause (see spoilery comments). 8a, 9a, 22a, 2d and 19a among many witty surfaces.

Thanks, that was a neat quickie. 13d made me smile as I live in the country referenced

Well done. That is great first Quick Cryptic. The difficulty level is just right for the genre and the wordplay all clear.

This was a very nice quickie, thanks Wombat. I particularly enjoyed 20a, 15d, and 17d.
