Welcome to the Toughie week. Autumn is well underway on the Wirral, and the redwings are pouring in (or over/through).
Donnybrook has given us a fairly gentle and enjoyable start to this week’s proceedings. Despite my terror at seeing linked clues, these were on the mild side and provided a good way in, helped by twigging 1a straightaway. Spotting a couple of “high score” Scrabble letters had me wondering about pangrams, but I can’t see anything unusual on that front.
6d is a clear winner for me today, although the answer to 2d is a top word! Thanks to Donnybrook for easing us in nicely.
