   Picking a puzzle of the month was a no-brainer. Can only be Araucaria’s poignant announcement on Friday 11th.

   Picking just one clue out of so many was more problematic, as we have been terribly spoilt this month. Finally went for my favourite from Arachne on Friday 25th.

   Puzzle of the month: 11-1-13, 25,842, Araucaria, Link

   Clue of the month: 25-1-13, 25,854, Arachne, 15 down, “Engorged lower half of wildebeest upset another wildebeest (3-5)” BEE-STUNG

   We would whole-heartedly agree with Mitz in both the puzzle and the clue of the month.

   I agree that Araucaria’s announcement was terribly poignant, but does the puzzle qualify for Puzzle Of The Month as the Guardian reprinted it from the December edition of One Across?

   Just curious, not critical

   PUZZLE OF THE MONTH MUST BE ARACAURIAS ANNOUNCEMENT – THAT CROSSWORD I WILL REMEMBER FOR A LONG TIME

   These choices wouldn’t stand up in a court of law but they might survive a lie detector test -

   Puzzle. Araucaria’s announcement 25,824 which rather ruined my birthday (but I recovered).
   Clue. 23.1.13 25,852, PAUL, 18A, HONEYMOONER.

   I agree with Mitz @1 for the puzzle:
   Puzzle of the month: 11-1-13, 25,842, Araucaria, Link

   and with newmarketsausage @4 for the clue:
   25/1/13, 25,845, Arachne, 15 down, ‘Pounding ingredients (11)’ TENDERISING
