Thanks to Buddy for hosting and congratulations to Wil.
Thanks to Chrise, Swarbrules, Geting, Paul, Rafflestg and Jono for the votes. Some splendid clues and a great word to play with.
I’ve tried to email Norah on several occasions recently and had no reply. We’ve corresponded regularly over the years so I’m confident I have her latest email. I actually contacted the Forum website in Sheffield who informed me Ash had left in October. They said the Crossword people would ring back, but nothing heard. Just hope all is well.
