Morning All!
During the recent Cruciverbalist’s Convention at the White Horse, Parson’s Green, as well as agreeing to “blog the Thursday Toughie”, Bufo also generously volunteered to throw in a puzzle for the NTSPP series. And here it is. It is not especially difficult and I plumped for 2.5 stars as there are a smattering of unusual words and some wordplay that is not immediately obvious.
Nevertheless, this should appeal to all solving abilities and is highly recommended.

A few hints to get you started.
Don’t forget that you can give your assessment of the puzzle. Five stars if you thought it was great, one if you hated it, four, three or two if it was somewhere in between.
As is usual for the weekend prize crosswords, I will select a few of the better clues and provide hints for them.
Peter Biddlecombe’s full review of this puzzle will be published at 12.00 on Friday, 4th June.
