Well, this week's puzzle seems to have had a lot of people struggling. Myleene Klass has a lot to aanswer for!

Good clue there pastille !
re 12 A the "pen" is a "quill" plus an angram of "tyrant" = a word for "peace"
20A is a pig, pink in colour with a broad black stripe around its middle.
5D Magworth gave a good clue for this one .

Most of the large shrubs are OK, but the little ones are shrivelling a bit under the heat. 31c for 2 days! HOpe you have good luck with your wild meadow next time.

~Thanks Jazzgirl. Not much luck with wild flower meadow - its a bit of a jungle or something. But I will try again next year. However the late lamented begonias of a few weeks ago have revived surprisingly. They must like rain!
