    Well done! All feedback appreciated. Any mistakes? Which clues did you like? Which didn't you like?

      Thank you for a very entertaining crypptic. Is 7D better as "Frank artisan in tatters"? I couldn't understand the definition for 28D. Nevertheless, a very nice puzzle.

        Hi! You're absolutely right about 7D. I didn't like the 'an' in there but couldn't work out how to get rid of it. I've amended that clue. Thanks a lot for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

          I changed 28D so you might have got the old version. It should be "Follow, finish and end with eta. (5)". 'Theta' follows 'eta' in the greek alphabet; 'theta' finishes the phrase 'with eta', and 'theta' ends with 'eta'. – A bit messy, I agree.

        Fun, thanks
        Nothing too tricky, if that was your intent - the only sticking point for me was the def for 28d. Im not particularly a fan of clues like 22a that are too on the nose, but I guess in moderation, its part of the fun seeing what is and what isn't. But I was tickled by a number of the clues so good job, eternally wishing i could reach the level of you geniuses one day

          Excellent, glad you enjoyed it. I've amended 22A and 28D – thanks for the feedback!

          I really enjoyed this puzzle! I'm pretty new to cryptics so it felt good to have a few jump out at me right away. I had a bit of trouble with 30A and 31A just because I didn't actually know the words, even after I revealed them at the end! But otherwise very satisfying :)

            Cool! I'm glad you liked it : ) i know "noisome" from the tongue twister "a noisy noise annoys a noisome oyster", and i learnt recently that the words 'noisy, noisome & nausea' are all etymologically related (and come from a greek word that also gave us 'navigation'). sorry about "salto". i think it's more of a german word. it's what they call a "flip" or a 'somersault' (and the last part of 'somersault' is probably related)
