BD Rating – Toughie Difficulty ***** – Enjoyment *****
It is very damp and foggy outside and Mr CS has taken control of the Christmas jigsaw which allowed me plenty of time to solve, parse and hint this 6d Toughie

This Christmas Day Toughie is only available online
BD Rating – Toughie Difficulty *** – Enjoyment ***
A Toughie for Christmas Day which could have appeared on any other Wednesday of the year as there were no references to the Christmas season at all! I have added an image of 16d at Christmas, just to add a bit of festivity!

As this is my last on-the-day blog post before Christmas Day’s Toughie, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas
