Greetings from the sun-kissed Calder Valley. It’s the third Friday, and time for another romp with Elgar, and as usual we are not disappointed. A fair old challenge with a grand batch of clues to make you smile and beat your head against the desk in equal measures.
We also have one of the more unusual grids with four-way symmetry and Elgar has risen to the compiler’s challenge of a pangrammatic set of answers. Thanks to him for a smashing way to start the weekend.
