I enjoyed this crossword by a setter whose crosswords I have never blogged. Previous puzzles seem to have been rather difficult. This one was also on the hard side, but there are some very good clues here and it all just about makes sense after solving.
Nothing has changed. Filbert has continued the good work.
Definitions underlined, in maroon. Anagram indicators in italics.
