I didn't know what I wanted to eat which is very unusual for me @doingitanyway but as soon as we came up with cheesy mash and beans, that was definitely what I want nom nom

@PennysIntoPounds - Lol at the self-administered kicks going on. Here at Foxgloves Manor, we are getting better at solving cryptic crosswords, having learned from the Saturday Guardian Quick Cryptics which we began doing in Summer last year. We can now manage their standard Saturday cryptic though it may have been a little easier this time as we finished it yesterday instead of the more usual Thursday or Friday. We like the Observer Everyman crossword too, which we find easier than the main Saturday Guardian one. They all help to keep the grey cells oiled & usually provide a laugh.

I always used to do the Guardian crosswords with my mother from quite a young age when there were lots of quotes from Shakespeare. I must have read every single one looking for the relevant quotes. She used to get so cross when they changed the compiler.
