Agreed Brendan as in #1above. However, a query. Does PK number just his Cryptic/Prize puzzles, or also his others? He sets Quick Cryptics as well.

Actually just had a thought. Could the word refer to a quarter of a completely different set of 52 objects?

BuzzyBee, re your query @11, it is only the cryptics.

Phi, explains his setting process and the inclusion of Māori words here…

I'm finding this odd. About half has gone in very easily, but now I'm completely stalled!

I've been to 10a. It's one of the few places that is actually better than you have heard. (Another is the gardens of the Villa d'Este at Tivoli.)

Finished now. Just one to parse - 14a. I can see the region and some of the rest, but some letters are unaccounted for.

I also galloped along nicely till I came to an abrupt stop at 22a. I can't even see which part of the clue indicates the solution! Help appreciated.

22a parses 2,3,5 , the last four words are the definition
