hi teach, thanks, i never understand how you get the answers to these clues, thanks again :-)

[teacher1]

13a anagram of trees-or = restore
12d first class = A1 + red ( colour ) = Aired
27d comfortable - It's your ...scene
Hope this helps.
John.

looks so obvious when you explain it, and give the answer..! but so hard when i'm trying to do it on my own, glad i've got you & AB , i will keep trying. :-)

Just keep trying, and don't forget to ask for clues rather than answers if you want to improve with cryptics.

Just a help to looking at clues.

13a The answer we are asked for is "put back"; the clue to it being an anagram is "an upset" and what is upset is "trees or" - so RESTORE

Keep trying, it gets easier as the jargon is understood
