14a quite obscure - poetic "always" is "e'er", returned makes it "ree", so re.....e goes around what you sign when you take on a property (still rhymes with "peace!)
23a. Still not got the picture????It's mainly available digitally now....(or on a 'phone!)
1oa. Birds are kept in an aviary. Voting system is AV + Scottish version of "John"
15d. You can saute potatoes + rnes from pRiNcEsS - French seet wine.
Hoping this helps!
