Page one!!!!!

I'm pretty much always a fan of Patrick's puzzles, when I have the time to do them. Rows Gardens in particular are great, but they take a little while.

On the beach, the correct beach this week, 100%.

Love me some Patrick Berry! A tricky one!
Oh, BTW, I had dinner with my nephew last night and he concurs with Will P that "no one" in academia says "essay test" anymore.

Got it! A little trickier than the past few weeks. Nice one!
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

On shore. It took me way too long to see what was going on here, but a satisfying click once I got there.
