I’m going to try this puzzle. It’s almost the weekend and have nothing to do. Hope I get all the answers right.

A few strange ones today?

12a, I can see the high plot, but the rest of the clue makes little sense?

2d, struggling to see anything of note beyond “place to chew things over”?

With regards 25a, ewe’s milk cheese is thankfully more common than that of Eve or Ede!

Thanks for all your comments.
[[Steve@3, you're right about pics 1 & 3. I've added a link to the answer to pic 2, under the pics. Well done!]]

Thanks Jason and scchua. This puzzle seemed slightly heavy on anagrams for my taste, but enjoyable nonetheless. It was an interesting coincidence to see the similarity of 4d with one of yesterday’s clues.

As for the picture puzzle – Snoopy is of course famous for flying his Sopwith Camel. I’m not sure where Kirstie Alley fits in but Kelly McGillis was in the movie Witness which was set in an Amish community.

Thanks Jason for a pleasant puzzle and scchua for the blog.

25dn: I am sure that EWE is the intended answer, but is there a really good reason why it could not be EVE (or even EDE, short for Edith)?

Thanks for the blog scchua. I agree with you about 1a. Great clue, I spent ages going through the types of that bird before the penny dropped about the true nature of the Penguins!! Thanks to Jason for a nice Tuesday puzzle too.
