“Kia ora. Kiwis are normally shy creatures who spend most of the day asleep and come out only at night, but we have emerged, blinking into the light to bring you our very first review of a Wednesday puzzle. It has taken much beak scratching.”

The above is part of the preamble we wrote in September 2014 on our very first BigDave blog.

Please leave a comment telling us how you got on.
