Today was Day 3 of this year's 3-day walk along part of the Thames Path. Following on from last year's 4 days walking West from Walton-on-Thames (see here), this year we started in the same place, but went in the opposite direction. Today we walked from Battersea to Limehouse and then from there to Stratford for our journeys home.

A brief history of the origins of these crosswords for those who are new to them. As a blogger of the Times Quick Cryptic Crossword on Times for The Times every other Friday, I often had comments on the blog bemoaning that The Times only provides a Quick Cryptic on Mondays to Fridays. When I finally gave up work at the end of February 2020, I decided that I would try my hand at compiling crosswords. It was with some trepidation that I published, in May 2020, the first of these Weekend Quick Cryptics to fill the gap. Well it seemed to go down well so I did another. And then my fellow crossword solver and commenter on Times for the Times, Phil Jordan, volunteered to produce some too. And then, more recently, so did Sawbill. So now the three of us take turns, publishing each new crossword via my Friday Quick Crossword blog.
This time it is Sawbill's turn to provide the fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic crossword, Number 73 in the series.
You can try and solve the crossword interactively here on MyCrossword or here on crossword.info. As usual you can download a PDF to print which you can find here. Alternatively you can copy and print the image below. Comments and queries are welcome with the solution post (which also gives tips on some of the clues). I will react to any comments or queries there as soon as I can. You can find an index to the complete series of crosswords here.
SAVE THE DATE. We are planning another get together of Weekend QC compilers, TfTT bloggers and commenters on Saturday 24th June at from 1200 at The George, Borough High Street, Southwark, Greater London, SE1 1NH. All are welcome. We are also expecting Mick Hodgkin, the Times Puzzles Editor and Pete Biddlecombe, Sundays Times Crossword Editor and founder of Times for The Times to drop in. If you intend coming along, please drop me a line to Johninterred's Email, or send me a message via the "Contact Me" box in the sidebar, so we can have some idea of numbers and reserve sufficient table space.
We've started growing some summer vegetables. The picture shows Dawn's courgette and tomato seedlings, but what is under the cover?
After our morning walk from Snape Maltings to Campsea Ashe, Joyce took Jane and me to Iken Cliff Car Park (where we first munched out lunch) for a short afternoon walk to Iken Church and back.
Today I joined Joyce and a couple of others for a recce walk from Snape Maltings to Wickham Market Station (which is in Campsea Ashe).
Well. This was a bit unexpected. Just before we started our walk yesterday, I got an email from the crossword editor of The Times...

I've created a new page indexing all my walks this year so far - John's Walks 2023. It gives links to all the blog postings, routes and photos. It is the last item in the site menu. You can also find links to the walk index pages from 2018 to 2023 in a new gadget in the sidebar.
Yesterday Dawn and I joined Joyce for a repeat of a previous walk (see here), from Nowton Park to Hawstead, but in the opposite direction.
