Thanks Sisyphus. That was very gentle and succinct. NHO 27a but it was clearly clued. My picks were 30a, 24d, 4d, 29a, 22d. I did wonder about the enumeration of 25a? Also, 15d seems unconventional in that the definition doesn't appear at the beginning or the end of the clue.

Thanks Sisyphus- not too hard(y), but some nice clues. I liked 11a, 23a, 30a (favourite), 15d and 17d. I'm impressed that you're familiar withe the works of the late great Georgette Heyer. More in reply...

Thanks Sisyphus, enjoyable as always. Didn't find it as easy as others seem to have done. Liked 9a, 1d and 24d in particular. Otherwise nothing to add to others' comments but agree with Pentman re 15d!

Hi Sisyphus, thanks for the puzzle, a well worked grid around your nina and lots of fun clues. Particularly strong start with 7a and 8a but favourites also 14a, 27a and 10d.

Thanks Sisyphus for an enjoyable romp featuring a good mix of clues and an impressive Nina. The peripheral message came early and certainly made the crossword easier. Favourites included 7a, 9a, 30a, 4d, and 26d. I had no problem with the mildly rebellious 15d 😆

Plenty of my favourite building block clues and clever surfaces made this a fun solve, thanks Sisyphus! Faves include 9a,23a,20a,1d,22d. Nina came early enough to be real help, too

Hi Sisyphus. Crosswording time has been limited for me recently so haven't had a go at one of yours for a while but this was a treat! A great Nina and I also particularly liked 29a, 30a, 4d and 22d.
