Knowledge gained from Fieldfare, Klaz! :-)

[klazomaniac]

Yes Tilly ;-)

[klazomaniac]

Maybe He / She sets for the Times as well ?

[Tilly2]

Maybe.

[Tilly2]

Yes, his name is Richard Browne.

[klazomaniac]

Just found this, So it looks likely:

Richard Browne, who is close to crosswording royalty, having served as Times crossword editor until the incumbent, Richard Rogan, took over. He has set here as Vulcan since 2018 and Imogen since 2014; if two pseudonyms seems a lot, bear in mind that he has also set for the Financial Times as Antares, the Independent as Victor, the Times Quick Cryptic as Teazel, the Spectator as Fieldfare and for the Telegraph and Times main puzzles.

[klazomaniac]

Sorry, I didn't refresh :-)

[Tilly2]

Talented man.

[klazomaniac]

Thank you, I believe Richard Browne is also. lol ;-)

[Tilly2]

Did you notice the pseudonym Antares?

[klazomaniac]

No I didn't. Very observant of you!
A stargazer perhaps ?

[Tilly2]

A bit.

[klazomaniac]

You should purchase a star and name it after yourself Tilly. Fieldfare might write a clue about you then ;-)

A star called Matilda? Not catchy is it?

[Tilly2]

Anyway, Klaz, got to go walkies. Bye for now.

[klazomaniac]

Why not, Matilda is a lovely name.
Enjoy your walk in this glorious weather :-)
