Zandio didn’t keep me up too long last night, I hope he isn’t affronted that I may have missed something in 5d and 10a The question mark in 5d would suggest some slight and is 10a an &lit/all-in-one or a split double definition? I hope I have captured the gist
We have 14a and 16d clues today and I have hinted half
As it is a dry day here in deepest Yorkshire I will be trimming the Yew tree, but will keep an ear out for any extra nudges if required
Here we go…

Hoping to make my task a little easier, I asked Bard “What is the theme of a crossword puzzle called Footsteps likely to be?” The response was:
To narrow down the possible themes, it would be helpful to see the crossword puzzle itself. However, based on the name of the puzzle, the theme is likely to be something related to movement, travel, or exploration. Here are some examples of theme answers for a crossword puzzle called “Footsteps”:
- Footprints in the sand
- One small step for man
- The road less travelled
- A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
- Follow the footsteps of giants
We shall find out later how helpful this proved to be.

Another week has whizzed by and once again, I must work out what to say in my introduction to the Saturday Hints and which clues are likely to be most in need of a hint. Fortunately this Prize Puzzle didn’t take long to solve and so I should have plenty of time to get outside and enjoy the ‘extended summer’
