    Thanks Sam! Only comment would be that 4d seems like it should have an 's' ending, given how the clue reads. Better cryptic solvers than me will likely have better feedback!

      Thanks for catching that, fixed now!

      Lovely puzzle! Seconding Womble’s note re 4D. I got a kick out of 13D; it works!

        Fixed! Glad to hear it worked for you, it was the last clue I came up with and I wasn't sure if it was really clever or really stupid haha

        In 25A there's an extra S in the anagram fodder.
