BD Rating – Difficulty * Enjoyment ***/****
A dampish typically autumnal start to the day here in Harpenden but it’s starting to brighten up & we have a largely dry day to look forward to.
I found today’s Anthony Plumb maybe a little more straightforward than the last couple of Tuesdays. I’d rate it pretty well on a par with yesterday’s puzzle in terms of difficulty & very enjoyable it was too. As ever it will be interesting to see what others make of it.
Ray T is on duty over in t’other place with one of his no anagrams Beamers. It is fairly gentle also & bob-on for the Tuesday Toughie slot so well worth having a stab at if looking for a further challenge.
As usual there is a selection of music to enjoy or ignore.
In the hints below the definition element of each clue has been underlined, anagrams are CAPITALISED & the crossword technique “indicator words” are in brackets. The answers are concealed under the Click Here buttons. Please leave a comment below telling us what you thought & how you got on with the puzzle.
