Greetings from the Calder Valley! Firefly is back in the Friday slot with a puzzle that is one of the more gentle Friday challenges. I thought it a bit odd to have a few clues with the word ‘onions’ in, all of which were a particular type of clue; usually when that happens the word is hidden in the puzzle and referred to be a clue number.
It’s a big weekend in the Crossword World with a certain Friday Toughie resident celebrating his 50th birthday with a couple of gatherings, one in Sheffield tomorrow, and one in London on Sunday. We will be playing our part here on the blog, pop in tomorrow lunchtime and have a look. I will be at the Sheffield gathering, along with many of the great and the good and if you can make it, I’d love to meet you. No doubt there will be photos.
