I have received a finished scanned copy back. Yippee, it's do-able

I'll catch up with you all tomorrow as I'm now off work for 10 days... Yipee again just for that.

OMG ....just checked it out. Had to read the preamble a couple of times...but, I think I've got...(By George, she's got It....) the rain in Spain ....sorry! easily distracted.

More family stuff in store, but looking forward to getting started.

Well done Les....you devious cad. X

I've only been able to dip in as we have company at the moment.
I 'got it' too once I had a printed copy.
However, I'm finding it a real challenge (enjoyable though) and doing a lot of paper shuffling!

I started this yesterday- still have three answers missing. Most enjoyable, and far fewer question marks than usual. Wish I didn't have to go to work!

Got 'em all now. Some lovely clues.

I have completed the grid, but without solving all of the "Phase 2" clues!

I thought that getting a solution might help with the secondary clues, but in several cases it hasn't.

Same here - except that my grid is far from complete at the moment!

I've taken my time with this bit and think it's all present and correct but for those who have finished, please don't hesitate to alert me to any mistakes.

Thanks Les. At least the ones I have done tally with your extra letters!
However, I can see an error at 4d.
