Cryptic crossword No 1,450

Greetings Martwine! Congrats on your first puzzle here. A few loose definitions and wordplays, and some wacky surfaces. Favourite clues 28a, 24a, 28a and COTD 25d. Hope to see more :)

Welcome also martwine! Like chopin, I found your cluing quirky but mostly fun. I particularly enjoyed 9a (nice spot), 17a, 6d, 8d & 16d among others. Some of the wordplay had me scratching my head rather, but I’ll not dive into a detailed analysis unless you would find that valuable. Worth a double-check of clues before publishing - there are two typos I spotted (9a & 18d), fortunately neither misleading for the solving. Keep them coming!
