A bit of a tricky Quick Crossword from Mara today, if my time is anything to go by, but maybe I was just a bit tired. It’s one for anagram lovers, with no less than 9 of them. Nice one Mara – Thank-you. How did you all get on?

A fun tussle with Trelawney here – who I declare the winner after pushing me just over 10 minutes. Lots of anagrams, double definitions, blind alleys and smooth surfaces. Great fun – thanks.
