Thank you to Senf for the hints and to the setter too. Pretty steady solve with no maintain ups until the last two within the SW. I had another backward God in mind for 21a however he didn’t parse. I went about it a special way and a synonym for delicate sprang to mind earlier than I resorted to the dictionary. Oddly for me I solely circled two favourites which have been 4a and 10d.  
If you would like to recommend a brand new reply please be happy to make use of the contact page. Just in addition to our pocket rocket gardener has been here all morning prepping us for Open Gardens. And it is all going to have to be accomplished again before the 4th. Beginning to assume it’s not such a good idea to have the village are available and criticise our horticultural skills! Many due to the setter for making us all really feel intelligent and to Senf for clarifying the one 27a which was our LOI. Greetings to Kath and everybody with worries and woes.  
Agree re 29a – I had even bunged in numerous fourth letter. Quite agree Jane with both 27a and 29a – not good clues at all. Quite straightforward although I did get caught on 19d for some reason. No actual favourites just an pleasant clear up all spherical. Perhaps the setter made the puzzle a bit simpler today so that we can get stuck into the gin!  
Glad the weblog is again to regular, began to get withdrawal symptoms! And, in the clear gentle of my Saturday morning, I can see that you are right and the pun has been corrected. I thought the "easy-peasy" comments have been discouraged?  
Thanks Senf for an additional great weblog ‘n hints and, in fact, to our setter for an entertaining, if not too troubling, Saturday challenge. I all the time discover these items gratifying, such a good feeling to solve without any assist. Correction, with only assist for one, 19d, but that was so clever. All over to rapidly however gratifying all the identical.  
When I was a little lady I performed with two neighbouring lads mr age John Morley and John Foster. They loved cricket however I was at all times the fielder, never got to carry the bat or ball. The other sport we played was kind of cowboys and Indians and it involved me being tied to a drainpipe whilst they fought.  
This may be due to fixing velocity. Thanks Setted and to Senf for doing additional time. My deafness means music, particularly there cordeld kind is lost on me so I don’t play the musical decisions very often.  
I am at all times amused on the American pronunciation of 17a. It’s right up there with Wimbledon and Cornwall as being phrases stated in a special way over here. Big thank you to the setter, and to Senf for stepping in today. Hope the transfer has gone properly for Tilsit. I think wires have gotten a bit crossed on this particular thread, Bertie – LROK was just poking fun, hence his use of the relevant emoticon. A double definition, I assume – the primary may perhaps discuss with the solar on the end of the day – I contemplate that the clue deserves a ‘?
