Kia ora from Aotearoa.
Cold and windy here today so an extra layer of clothing and a modified circuit for our regular walk this morning.

A fairly straightforward but very entertaining puzzle which I made more difficult than I should have down South by writing the 14d answer in the 15d space which gave me problems until I twigged what I’d done.… Continue reading
