Special Instructions: Give me more feedback! Tried to make my surfaces a bit better, WIP. Let me know if the difficulty seems about right for a quickie style cryptic.

Bit of a late submission! Hope you all enjoy with the morning coffee / commute.

Thanks mulholland and welcome. Good fun (also enjoyed your debut) with 22a my favourite. I'm not sure what level you're aiming for but this was a bit above 'quiptic' due to some tricky vocab (eg 4a a nho, though clearly clued) and a few unusual / stretchy indicators (eg in 8a) though all 'gettable' (so I'd say "moderate" rather than "gentle"). As you've asked for feedback, spoilers follow ...

Well done hun made me laugh the last one I got being 1a - what a dummy Dolly is! Bit tough for a true quickie and a bit wordy - I'm not wise enough to give actual tips myself but look at the Times Quick Cryptic that's the gateway drug and gold standard - wish I could write them like that too - your 13d was on the money though - good luck babe x
