Something to get through with pursed lips (7,4) - Kissing Gate

Thank you AB good answer I'm not very clever with cryptic clues.

21. salmon leap.
23. frogspawn.

27. might be...shepherds purse. I can't give a very convincing explanation so I'll leave it to you.

cancel shepherds purse. shepherds crook looks good.

22. ermine (the stoat in winter)

sounds like (G)erman (teutonic race).

by the way the aussie connection with the shepherd one is that crook is aussie slang for ill/sick.

Thanks very much Terry for all those answers & I'm so pleased you explained about Shepherd's crook, as I would have been very bewildered.
