Zandio returns with a Sunday Toughie that wasn’t much trickier than his Friday back pager. 13d caused some disturbance in the smooth passage through this crossword but I still managed to slip off to the land of nod before 1am
We have 14a and 14d clues today and I have hinted half, some tricky clues have had to go unhinted so a nudge may be available if required
11a was my favourite clue today – what was yours?
Here we go…

BD Rating – Difficulty **** – Enjoyment ****
This puzzle draws on a wide variety of words – two cities, a Scottish town, a Shetland fire festival, food and drink, a lake, an American President and a type of railway. All of the proper nouns are well-known apart from the fire festival, but I enjoyed reading about it.
Today is the big day when I am entitled to collect my pension, so it is a bit hectic here at the moment! The hints and tips may take a litle while to complete, but I will get them done.
