My solving time confirms that this one didn’t present very many problems but there were two or three unknowns where I slowed right down to work through the wordplay to arrive at the answers.

This was mostly straightforward but an interesting puzzle to solve and blog. I had one unknown answer which was clearly correct from wordplay but took me rather by surprise and I shall be interested to find out if others also didn’t know it.

I found this mostly straightforward with no unknown words of meanings apart from the artist  at 25ac who’s making his first appearance apparently.

My solving time of 25 minutes was well within my target half-hour but would have been even quicker if I had not been delayed by two unknowns at 7dn and 11dn.

15dn and 21dn delayed me at the end and caused me to miss my target half-hour.

Not a bad effort from me considering there were a few things unknown or forgotten along the way.
