I have at last woken up to the parsing of 11a - the "guardian" is not CH, as I was assuming!!!

I am also now doubting 2/10. 10 could be learn, laser, lares - so many possibilities...

so, aspria, are you advocating lare or rale (as daw has already offered these)? I think - even for this setter these are rather far-fetched. Also v inelegant to add an s and immediately take it away - although I guess that's happened in effect in 29.

oh I don't know ! I've now gone back to the B and S variant. I can't see anything in the 2 clue that provides any certainty. At least that would reduce 10 to one possibility.

Cannot get the clue for 'guardian' which I assume I have to put in the middle of a four letter singer (I think i have her name). Help welcome so that I can complete the crossword (I do not submit entries).

Cannot get 8a. There's a word which fits the "to retire at home fit" part nicely but can't make sense of the first two letters plus whatever 19,13s apply to "Gave what is necessary".
