Cryptic crossword No 3,506

Hi Helsinki, and welcome to MyCrossword. I really enjoyed solving your puzzle and, even though it is your debut here, I very much doubt that this is your first ever cryptic crossword. Lots of creativity and clever wordplay throughout, and I particularly liked 25a, 28a, 3d, 22d and 26d.
