I didn’t find this puzzle particularly difficult, as the correct answers were usually evident, but blogging it is another matter.   I have had to correct several misapprehensions while writing the blog.

Hi everyone. This was on the whole a very satisfying solve. Not the fastest (just squeaked in under the hour), but a nice even pace throughout. Lots of highlights. Thank you to the setter.
