    Tougher than usual, I thought. Fun as always!

      Thanks for solving! I can never tell how hard these are going to be until they're done, so glad you enjoyed regardless

      Loved the def for 13D especially. I think 12A is missing a def though?

        oh you are so right, fixed that now but sorry that I missed that when I was first uploading!

        Thank you, Sam. This one felt like a fair challenge. 13D was a great clue and 20D made me chuckle!
