Tilsit and I were going to share the honours today with me doing the across hints and him the downs, but it seems that he prefers the company of the pretty nurses at the hospital, so I’ve done his bit as well!
As is usual with an Elgar puzzle, there are too many excellent clues to be able to single out favourites.

Thank you once again to Virgilius for the usual splendid Sunday challenge, which didn’t take me long to solve but was, as we have come to expect, very enjoyable. My favourite clue, 13a, is worth 5* on its own. I also really liked the linking of the down clues 1 and 22; 2 and 19; 6 and 16; and 7 and 21.

Morning All!. I think that everyone agreed on the day that this was a fairly straightforward puzzle from Cephas but I still enjoyed that solve and also the review. For those wondering about the Chinese influence in this review may I draw your attention to the correspondence below regarding my review of DT 26437 with reference to 21a in that puzzle!
