Cryptic crossword No 1,220

Fun little cryptic - nothing too obscure and all seemed pretty fair. Some lovely clues including : 20a, 31a, 8d, 21d 👌

Hi Dyno, my 1st attempt at one of your offerings and I enjoyed this. Some neat constructions and cute ideas with 22d my COTD and 7d an honourable 2nd. A couple of parsings escape me - do you have annotations? SPOILERS....

Nice one Dyno, fun and reasonably gentle! We enjoyed solving this on our Cryptic Sunday Twitch stream today, if you want to watch it back: https://twitch.tv/crypticsunday

Hi Dyno. I came on here and upticked after watching the cs solve and I did type a note saying I enjoyed it and agreeing with Angel that it was a nice gentle and pleasantly constructed puzzle. And it does not appear to have saved. So here you go. Looking forward to your next. PM.

Hi Dyno, I tuned in late to the Sunday solve of this one so came back to it online. An enjoyable puzzle, mostly quite gentle but fun. I particularly enjoyed 24a, 30a, 31a, 6d & 14d. No nits to pick either…

Very enjoyable, Dyno, thanks. As others have said, relatively gentle (works for me!) and some really nice clueing. My podium is 31a, 3d and 7d

Thanks - nice one. Favourite clues 17a, 29a for the nicely constructed surfaces, and 14d for the visual wordplay.
