Today’s puzzle is well up to the usual Monday standard. There’s a few gimmes to give you a good start but there’s also a few tricky little rascals so I’ve gone for *** difficulty. I’ll be interested to see who agrees and who thinks it was a breeze.

A lovely sunny day here in Harpenden that’s just begging for a good walk.
