A new feature in the Sunday Times this year is a cryptic crossword where all the clues relate to a news story during the year. Published only online as there is no printed paper on Christmas Day, you can find the puzzle here in The Times Crossword Club.

Times 28483 – MacPherson’s Rant
This was quite a nice puzzle, with a number of original devices. It was easy only because I took the time to use the cryptics, which reward the solver very quickly.

Hello, and happy Boxing Day. (Kitties like boxes!)
The right hand side of this puzzle went very smoothly for me, but the left took rather longer, bringing the whole a little past my average time. My last in was 12a. 18a stood out for its surface and so is my pick of today’s clues. Thanks Izetti!
