More Crosswords
One of my great passions is cryptic crosswords. I have always enjoyed solving them, particularly those that appear in The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Independent, The Guardian & The Observer. I also enjoy the challenge of creating my own under the pseudonym Hasslethymi.
They will be appearing below in various formats on a regular basis. I've also put a list of useful links for crossword fans here. All crosswords © Ashley L V Smith |
