Thanks MM. Am I right in thinking "crofter" is a runner up of 2041? If so then well done!

[kayakamina]

You are correct Ros.

A small piece of good news for crofter after his recent bereavement.

[crofter]

Yes indeed ~ crofter is back in the frame. It's almost a year since I last won a Spectator Crossword. Many thanks for all your kind thoughts and best wishes.

In fact (in true Thousand Island Dressing fashion) I offer the following cryptic message:

Tiny disorder. He deserves all our thanks! (8)

[slaney]

Good one crofter - I'll second that!
Congratulations on your win.

[Voulez-vous]

Thanks mintyman99, as always!
Merry Xmas all, and a special mention to djahufc, who stepped and supplied the link whist you were away! Many thanks, both xx

Thanks crofter. Thrilled to be clued. Merry Christmas all. In Utah on 29th so will be unable to submit early post if there is a new Speccie that day.
