Morning All!. I found this quite straightforward apart from the dreaded 8a which I still don’t like and a couple of clues where I led myself down the garden path or else missed the wordplay. The rest was quite straightforward with a few clues that I quite enjoyed.

A beautiful fine Spring day. Clear blue skies and just the faintest suggestion of a breeze to stir the blossoms on the trees. We could do with a lot of this but, like most parts of the world, Spring is one of our most variable seasons so we have to make the most of the good days.
