    Great fun and just the right difficulty – thanks!

      Glad you enjoyed!

      Thanks very much, a nice level for me

        Fantastic! I enjoyed solving this over breakfast. 6A was the last one to click for me -- a fun way to end the puzzle. 11A and 20D were a couple of my favorite clues. Thanks Sam! :)

          Thanks for playing! I liked how 20D turned out :)

            Thanks... I dont know why I had such trouble with 29a... my skills or lack thereof are fading fast

              Nah, 29a bent the rules a bit, I like how it ended up but it wasn't super obvious. Thanks for solving merlin!
