I'm not doing well with this one!

14a Perchance wilt, after winter, as happened to thee? T???
18a On this kind of race, wife is blowing a lot. I???

6d ...pleased she often has this to flourish. ?L?D [GLAD? But why?]
8d Tract inspiring poets left pack leader vacantly nonplussed
?A?E????
21d Curries include this famous one: wade in sloppily ?D?I?N

14 thaw

Thanks for the start jazzgirl. But why? (Please don't tell me it's something to do with lisping see-saw...)

8 lake land

So 18 is INDY.

I have been trying to copy and paste a possible parsing for thaw, but the forum will not allow me to post it :(

It mentions that as See becomes saw,
so thee might become thaw ?

Thanks again jazzgirl, but I have still not worked out the wordplay of LAKELAND.

L AKELA (leader of a pack of Wolf Cubs) NonplusseD

Lakeland is
a tract inspiring poets
Left - L
Pack leader - Akela
Vacantly non plussed - n(onplusse(d)
