Solving time: just about an hour.

Greetings from the Royal Blackburn Hospital.  I was flung into here on Tuesday as the old pins were still knackered. 

Reasonably tough fare from the Observer’s maestro, not helped by by a slip of the pen with 8 down.  In Chambers this is listed as BESO LAS MANOS, but in this puzzle it’s shwn as BASO LOS MANOS to intersect with ANTIPODE.

Thanks to the Cryptonuts (esp Uncle Bob) for assisting with parsing a couple of clues.

ACROSS   (*) = anagram; (CD) = Cryptic definition; (R) = Reversal

1   QUIXOTRY    Homophone of “Quicks” + O + TRY

11  FREEWHEEL   WHERE(*) inside FEEL

12  BLOAT   A inside BLOT

13  MOSEL   SO (R) inside MEL (another name for honey)
