Cryptic crossword No 3,540

Thanks metagloria for a very enjoyable puzzle. 10a conjured up a strange image! My picks have to be 14a, 19a and 25a

Lovely crossword from "the easy end of the week": which is absolutely NOT a critique, the world needs easier crosswords! Impeccable parsing, with my only (slight) niggle being 2d: personally I don't like "of" as link, though occasionally it can work. Love your plays with plurals (3d, 9d), and favourite the fabulous 13a. Thank you!

Lovely grid, all clues slipped down like a nice cup of tea. 11a had a soft spot in my heart. I thought 4d was lovely too. Experience of the day was reading clue 10a and thinking I'd dislike it, then coming to love it once I'd solved it!
