Tilsit was rushed into hospital by ambulance, with the blues and twos working overtime. He’s back home now, but not yet fit enough to file his review.
I know it’s a bit late but I have put something together. As I mentioned in the comments, for me this was so very nearly a five-star puzzle – a handful of weaker clues held me back from that accolade. It was very nice to be able to welcome Warbler herself to the blog – one of only two women currently on the Telegraph panel of cryptic setters (and I’m sure we all know who the other one is, so I won’t be holding my breath for an appearance!).
