A bit more = def which is

inclement after change of direction (subside indication)

I can see that a case could be made out for inclement but I would always put the def at one end.

Sorry to those whose fun was spoilt and thanks for the feedback.

I’d be interested to hear from Bradman!

6dn: ae is given in Chambers (2008 is the edition I have to hand) as an abbreviation for the Latin aetatis meaning of his or her ages, and hence aged (so many years).

6d Please explain why aged is AE

Favourite clue 18ac.

12ac: I wonder if the INCLEMENT/INCREMENT decision held other people back
during solving? It’s usually fairly obvious in retrospect!

24dn: Trees: PINES and ‘needles beginning to fall’: (S)PINES?
