      Emma - you have a real talent for writing clues I'm a fan. A lot of them made me laugh - EMUS for school mascot especially. It's always fun when crosswordese gets spruced up in such a clever way! Loved the double-duty function of the revealer.

        Aw, thanks Philip! That's lovely to hear.
