Puzzle Notes

Hello all!

We're so pleased to bring you another great puzzle from our friend, UK cryptic star and very nice guy Ali Gascoigne. This one's full of smooth and snappy clues which should satisfy all sorts of solvers.

Here's Ali, in his words:

Ali Gascoigne is a Brit who recently moved from one capital city (London) to another (Canberra). He currently spends his days wearing shorts, writing puzzles, and marvelling at his adopted homeland's excellent flora and fauna.

We hope you enjoy the puzzle! We'll be back with more fun in two weeks.

Happy solving,
Steve + the AVCX Cryptics team
