18A Brought forth staple food, by the sound of it --E- (4)

24A Bleak, solemn --S---E (7) - Thought it could be austere? The 5th letter gives the 2nd letter of 23D (see below)

29A Headgear used by bricklayer? ---T-R-O-R- (11) And the 2nd letter of this answer is also the last letter of 23D

18D Headgear for sailor? ----E- (6) The 1st letter is also the 1st letter of 18A (obviously!)

23D Irritates, annoys ---S/-- (4,2) I thought this could be wind up or stir up? But neither would fit with austere for 24A (if that's correct?)

Thanks in advance!

Thanks ST & Quizmonster!

But I now think 18D could be BOATER? Mainly because 24A Austere would give 18D as B-A-E-? (If it was BERRET it would mean that 24A would begin with R?). That's also using B from 18A BRED . What do you think, my crossword gurus?

Quizmonster

Yes, 'boater' is definitely a better bet! Go for it.
