I’m easily pleased… it appears the Guardian crossword setter links have been fixed, so you can access all my puzzles in one place! 😀

(It was previously working for some setters, partially for some - and not at all for others)

Ah yes I saw the comments! Oops! I guess at least they put an old one and didn’t ‘do a spoiler’! I was amused at quite a few people who sort of noticed a few similar clues but didn’t click 😂

Guinevere 🎲🎲 @guineverecryptic.bsky.social · 1d

Well, I might have been too late but I’m very chuffed to have got it anyway and it be somewhere I actually know and used to pass regularly!

Thanks for the fun @quizzydan.bsky.social !

Daniel Peake @quizzydan.bsky.social · 1d

CORRECT, less than a minute too late!!!!

Incredible

Grimaldi park??

Guinevere 🎲🎲 @guineverecryptic.bsky.social · 1d

I’m just chuffed I got it and it was actually a place I know! I don’t know London very well at all 😂

Guinevere 🎲🎲 @guineverecryptic.bsky.social · 1d

Ahhhh gutted! I thought of it earlier but I thought it was north of Angel! Arrrrgh! I used to walk past there very regularly as head office for my day job used to be in Islington, so I walked from Euston!

Guinevere 🎲🎲 @guineverecryptic.bsky.social · 1d

So not Joseph Grimaldi park? As I asked 15 seconds before this… 😭

There are definitely worse places for late breakfast and the Guardian prize crossword…

View out of a conservatory window towards the sea in the distance. In the middle there is a large amount of green grass and some pampas grass to the left. In the foreground a table with some leftover buffet food, a coffee and a glass of water.

If you ever wanted to get into cryptic crosswords but didn't know a way in... this was me a few months ago!

But @v21.bsky.social intro'd me to Minute Cryptic, then @martinpi.bsky.social & I started doing Guardian Quick Cryptic (where they explain the conventions), then Quiptic, & now full Cryptic
