BD Rating – Difficulty *** – Enjoyment ***
Good morning from South Staffs, on a dry but cloudy morning.
I gave this puzzle *** for difficulty because I struggled with a couple of clues, notably 1d, which was the last in because I simply couldn’t parse it at first. The penny finally dropped when I realised that the construction was similar to 6d in yesterday’s Cryptic (which I struggled with until I read Libellule Gazza’s explanation).
