@danielpeake Getting there… stuck on a few though! Thank you!
@jmb You can do it! 31d in particular is worth it.
@danielpeake Finally got it as the last but one answer - brilliant! Crossword complete! (I hope) Thank you!
@danielpeake Gratuitous use of crossword solver helpers though!
@jmb Nothing wrong with that at all! It improves the fun, actually solving things! Hope you did indeed have fun.
@danielpeake finally got around to solving this this morning! Last one in 30a (didn't know it was spelt like that and quite a fiddly parse!). I got 31d quite early and thought it was marvellous. Brilliant puzzle, I don't think there are any that have left me scratching my head or raising an eyebrow. Thanks very much to you and to Hattie! Looking forward to next year's
@sam_c hooray! 31d is my favourite clue, oh yes. Hope it was lots of fun!
