Another quality puzzle from Monk, a bit more accessible than his usual fare I thought (though still not easy!). Thanks Monk

Wanderer returns this Friday. He returns to try and expose my facade as a solver/blogger. He nearly succeeded.

Financial Times 14,878 by MUDD
A pleasant challenge from MUDD that provided a fine blend of write-ins, deducibles and hard cryptics. Steady progress through the lower half literally laid the foundation for the remainder. By my own standards, if I didnt require much help solving MUDD, it means he is taking it easy on me. Thanks MUDD for this excellent Friday treat.

Financial Times 14,875 by NEO
My first blog entry for several years, so be patient!
This was a fairly straightforward solve, with no clue taking more than a minute to solve. I don’t like the use of names as synonyms in the middle of clues which spoiled a couple of them for me, but that’s a personal thing.
Financial Times 14,872 by PETO
I thought PETO (unusual for a Friday) set a puzzle that was more approachable than some his earlier servings. I still needed to use the internet to confirm my answers for a couple of clues which I hadnt come across before. 14ac could use some help.
A lovely start to this Friday. Thanks to Peto for a delectable challenge.
