A 1 across to one and all. It’s another year again – time seems to fly when you’re having a good time or as you get older, so it seems. This is the first of many enjoyable puzzles to look forward to during this year. Quite straightforward. A 1.5*/3* from me. Thanks Jay (assuming the new year hasn’t brought changes to the setting schedule).
