My First Cryptic Crossword

I'm laid up with a horrible wet cold/flu thingy so I have been desperately looking around for some amusement. Today's Guardian crossword was a push-over, no fun at all, although it did inspire me to write one of my own.

Do let me know what you think - it was fun being the setter of traps for once.
