Pretty standard stuff from Rufus this morning. I do have a question mark placed on 10a and 12a. Both clues seem to mean basically the same thing or am I missing something?

Normal start to the week, with nothing contentious, although I did think that 18d was very weak. Please take time to leave a comment and let us know what you thought.

It took significantly longer to write the explanations in than it did to do the crossword. Still good fun though, but I was probably helped by a liberal sprinkling of clues I am sure some of you will have seen before.

I struggled with this today, but I don’t know why… how did you get on? Favourite clue – 21a. It took me ages to spot the anagram indicator.

The sun is shining here in the Loire and I have really enjoyed doing this Rufus crossword. It seemed slightly trickier than usual, but there are some excellent and entertaining clues which provided more than a few “of course” moments.
