Puzzle Notes
"Friendships are the family we make - not the one we inherit. I've always been someone to whom friendship, elective affinities, is as important as family" ~Salman Rushdie
Dear Crossword Nation Friends,
Following on Salman Rushdie's quote, I am reminded of the Irish proverb:
“There are good ships and wood ships, ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, and may they always be"
I'm ever grateful for the friendships forged by our love for words. Each week I hear from subscribers who write in just to say "hi", to laugh/groan/wince at a pun, or to offer a gentle correction/clarification of a clue or answer. It's always a pleasure to hear from you. I'm all ears when it comes to improving the craft, but the fun part is hearing from you. Thank you for taking the time to write in. Now, on to the puzzle ...
