As Toughies go this one is pretty easy (it’s an ideal one to start on if you’re dipping your toe in such waters for the first time; just don’t expect them all to be as easy as this!). That said, there are a few cleverly-worded and enjoyable clues amongst the easy ones, and a distinct lack of very obscure words, which is a major benefit in my opinion.
I found this one to be a little harder than usual, but on looking back at it I’m not sure why. As has been said before, some days you are on the same wavelength as the setter, other days it just doesn’t happen. Today for me was one of the latter.
