Times Cryptic 28616

This was my fastest ever solve

As my solving time would suggest, I found this pretty easy. How did you do?

I finished this just within my 10 minute target.

I have no solving time for this as I did it over more than one session, but I found it quite easy.

I solved all but two intersecting clues within 27 minutes but then suffered a mental fog which took another 15 minutes to clear completely

3 minutes over my target half-hour was not too bad for a puzzle that contained several words that one doesn’t see every day or even every week.

This is only Beck’s fourth puzzle, his/her first having appeared last November.

Solving time: 36 minutes.

A very enjoyable Jumbo which once again I completed in a single session

I spent exactly an hour on this and solved all but two clues before resorting to aids to polish them off.
