Cameras at the ready? Then off you go in search of LANDMARKS. These days you’ll need to take a selfie in front of them, thus proving to the world that you were there, because that’s the important thing, right? And do make sure you share it with everyone too, rather than enjoying the CASTLE, PALACE or MONUMENT for its own aesthetic value.
I’m not sure why this Strands triggered me to this extent – probably I’m just grumpy this morning – but I have no such problems with the puzzle itself, which is just fine. Not very difficult, admittedly, once I’d got started. But that was itself a simple task, given that TOWER sat prominently on the left side of the grid. An easy day.
