14d Membranous
14 Membranous
17. Me la no ma
25d FAD
FA(ME)D
By the way 14d = M(oonlight) + "or sunbeam" anagram
17d I think my parsing was incorrect
Still Melanoma (consequence of the sun) = Me la (notes) + Amon (Egyptian Sun God Amon-Ra) backwards

Good morning to all,
If 17 down is Melanoma then it makes my 21A wrong for which I have PeasEblossom which is an anagram of please blosom,Also I had for
24A AlohA (Greeting expression of surprise,repressing expression of revelation)the fourth letter of Melanoma is an A (I have an E) and the sixth letter is A,so it looks like I have gone wrong somewhere,can someone put me on the right track please.
Melanoma could be wrong, Aloha looks fine. What is the full clue please for 21a though please? Peaseblossom is "not" an anagram of "please blosom" - one of the Ls is missing and you have an extra S
Question Author
The full clue for 21A is One of 5A bouncy bosoms,please, The letters I have are P?A???L?S?O?.
5A I have answered as Fairies (just line from stories featuring imaginary beings)
17d SERENATA, a musical composition?
A TAN ERE S reversed
That looks sorted - well done Iminoz

Sorry about the delay in replying, Had to go and get my papers.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed.
21a I think the main problem is that the fairies in question are the ones in Midsummer Night’s Dream. Puck, Moth, Mustardseed, Cobweb etc. Another was Peasblossom but the compiler put an extra E in it - which is how Shakespeare spelled it.
