Started solving cryptics as a teenager in the early 2000s. I have worked as an economist in the civil service and am now teaching. I play ultimate frisbee three times a week, and help to run a community cafe in a local eco park.

Thought this would be a quick finish when a few of the long ones went straight in, but it got pretty tricky at the end with some guess-first, parse-after solving required. Favourites were 26/27ac and 1dn.
