Cryptic crossword No 3,156

Huge thanks to Coot for the help (and much more) here: https://www.tiny.cc/LearningFromCoot - he's a heck of a guy.

Such wonderful fun for a Monday morning! I love how 10a & 16d turned out! Other faves: 11a (nice hidden), 12a, 14a, 23a is gorgeous, 25a, 2d amused me greatly, 4d, 9d. Didn't see the Nina til the end but it's fun. Thanks TPG.

Hi tpgrammar - at first sight (and after listening to the first bit of the YouTube) I thought this was going to be really tough but actually turned out to very approachable despite a few nho terms. Best surfaces for me were 6a, 14a, 17d and 18d.

Thanks tpg, that was fun. My top picks included 7a, 10a, 14a, 22a, 2d, 17d, and 24d. More in reply.

Lots of fun! Especially like 6a,14a,23a,2d,5d,17d. Never come across 13d like this - new nfo!
