Very tricky in places, with several clues that I couldn’t parse until well after starting to blog. Favourites were 2dn, 3dn, 4dn and 20dn.

Guardian 26,823 – Paul / Updated
Edit: updated. A bit rushed in the blogging, but I did enjoy solving this earlier – a nice variety in the theme. Favourites 15ac and 19,3.
Apologies all for the delay – I’ve been having connection issues this morning. Should have a full post up shortly, but discuss away in the meantime.
