Cryptic crossword No 263

Good one Ottsel, thanks! Took me a while to get going but most of it fell into place nicely after that. Some lovely clues with 1A, 1D, 5D and 6D standouts for me.

Very enjoyable, my favourites being 1a, 12a, 19a, 2d, 4d. Thanks, Ottsel

Thanks Ottsel, this was a fun solve. Lots to like, in particular I enjoyed 15a, 19a, 1d, 2d, 5d, 16d, 20d.

Good fun, thanks. I liked 1d 2d 4d 5d and 19a

Thank you all for your kind comments on the puzzle, hope you all enjoyed it!
