@ Steve,

Sorry Steve but I told you 'fibs' last night! It was rather late here
and mind had gone to sleep

14a clock = year (synonym according to Thesaurus) - not time!

Adjustment period? It's bound to need time (4,4)

Religious movement right after affirmation of revolutionary redress (4,4)

religious movement: as in leap of faith
R after yea (affirmation)

AD 366 (4,4)

Anno - year
D - Day

(Bit tenuous, I know)
:)

@pigale: thanks - again! :)

Can someone please parse paul@29?

I can only think that Mao is known as Chairman Mao and was (a) Revolutionary?

Hi Steve;

Chairman Mao was known for the “Great Leap Forwatd” the aim of which was to modernise China but it resulted in millions of deaths...

Thanks, both.

Firstly, welcome to Clueless, icvotria and ludo. You might also like to have a go at Peer Review, which will be set tomorrow - that one differs from this one in that every entrant has a vote.

And now to business: 13 setters, with pigale and mattrom being particularly prolific. Many to like:
- paul@5's anagram
- tatters@21 (albeit pointing to Feb 29, as several seemed to, though I appreciate in some countries the lady's proposal can be any day in a leap year ... this is all very 'way back when', methinks!)
- ludo@28 taught me a word

Interestingly, mattrom@25 links nicely to the Olympics-related prize. The 'leaping' subject of the video lives nearby, and walked past me with his family the other day.

Whittling down to two finalists (and I admit I'd have preferred a question mark at the end of both clues, but when the idea is that good ...)

Silver goes to ixion@20.

Our gold medal winner is the succinct and clever fieryjack@10 with:

Springtime (4,4)

Congrats fj, and here's your prize:
