Thanks Beermagnet and Morph for a wonderful solve, altho’ a little late

Liked KEPI, which was my first one in. And thanks, beermagnet, for the blog, particularly the explanantion of 11a, which I got without fully understanding the clue.

Last one in was 1A LIBERTY – was trying to fit “VI”, or “SCH” or even “SC” when all the required letters were there before my very eyes! Favourites were 9A MARXIST-LENINIST, which was cracked after having M_R_I_T; 18A STONEMASON – liked the defn. and 4D CAESAREAN – another nice defn.

(I’m still barely halfway through the 19 March Nimrod, but then I do have a life, and I realize I’m not your typical solver…) Thanks, Morph, for restoring my self-confidence, and Beermagnet for the excellent blog. I didn’t get the wordplay for 27 ac but the rest was beautifully clear.

Such a well-constructed theme as you say and wonderful clues all thro of which my particular favourites were ARCH, STONEMASON and CAESAREAN. Right for a Saturday too as quite tough. Thanks Morph and beermagnet.

Thanks, Morph; and to Beermagnet for the meticulous blog.
