My father passed away on the third day of April and the tenth day of the lockdown. Here& #39;s a little strand celebrating the things he loved the most in life. Each expressed as a cryptic clue. He& #39;d have solved them pretty easily. +
For those who& #39;d like to solve the clues, the answer is in the next tweet. So don& #39;t peek. If you aren& #39;t a crossword buff, think of this as a peek into how deliciously twisted minds work. +
I& #39;ve tried to include all types of clues - anagrams, concealed words, alternate meanings, constuction by parts, removal, and (hopefully) clever associations. Enjoy.
