Welcome to the Toughie week. Autumn is advancing on the Wirral, and the first pink-footed geese have made their return to the Dee estuary from the Icelandic summer holidays to brighten the region’s soundscape with their squeaking.
Shabbo has given us an enjoyable, and not-too-tricky puzzle today, although some of the parsing took me a little bit of head scratching. 5d, 6d, 9a, 10a and 24d all get honourable mentions, but I’m giving my top spot today to 8d. Thanks to Shabbo for easing us gently into the week.
Please let us know how you fared and what you thought of the puzzle.
