In retrospect, Aidan isn't finished taking credit for a pastoral setting (7)
I believe the answer is:
arcadia
'pastoral setting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arcadia that I've seen before include "Tom Stoppard play" , "pastoral paradise" , "Idealised rural region" , "part of Greece" , "Jumbo manufacturer" .)
