Downton Abby 1000 pieces
This was one of the most challenging of any we have ever tried to piece together.
Carry On 1000 pieces
This one was completed much quicker, although there was quiet a bit of scratching of the head.
Coronation Street

This was a newly opened box and the puzzle was completed today, another quiet difficult jigsaw.
The most disappointing aspect was that 3 pieces were missing, so the 1000 piece became 997 piece see if you can spot where the pieces are missing

Relief, found the missing pieces 2 on the conservatory window sill behind the blinds and the other on the lounge floor

Cottage Garden
This is how we keep ourselves sane due this turbulent time wondering if this lockdown will ever end. Oh happy days
A Cottage Garden in Ringwood
After spending many hours over the last 7 days we got down to the final last 3 spaces. As can be seen from the picture the 3 pieces we had remaining were the wrong shape and size. That was what really frustrated us. After carefully examining the sky we could not determine where we had gone wrong, as we built the jigsaw there were quiet a few pieces that fit into 2 places. Of course they looked right at first inspection and proved hard to locate. So by this time not one for being easily beaten we gave up as we were not going to dismantle the whole of the sky pieces to find there correct positions.
We will start another one on Monday
I Love Great Britain
This is a puzzle of Historical Facts and Notable people. A much better experience than the last one and completed in less time. Much of that was down to the material the puzzle was made from, slightly thicker cardboard which remained in place after being located.
A Horse Racing Meeting
This was very difficult to work on, too many pieces fitted in wrong place, spent many hours on this one just getting frustrated. Put the sky line together at least 5 times and it still was not right. On this occasion we left 3 pieces in the spaces we had left, then broke it up. There was 1 piece missing from the bottom left corner. So just pleased to see the back of it, we have now moved on to the next jigsaw and have made a promising start.
Update found the missing piece
The Dry Stone Wall
Better quality jigsaw completed in 4 days, That's another week gone by with this awful Virus Although we have to do our own shopping and for the first time we have managed to get a click and collect at the local supermarket. We did drive to B&Q on Thursday but did not stop because of the length of the queue
Started another jigsaw
The Best of British
25/05.2020
Another quality jigsaw and completed in 2 days. Broke it up and got another out and sorted most of the edge pieces out.What a wonderful way to spend a bank holiday with the weather just right for a trip to a beach. Can't wait to get rid of this awful virus and get back to something like normal.
Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Another tough one to sort out
Further sanctions lifted but we are still being careful and keeping our distance when going out food shopping

This is the latest jigsaw completed, again a difficult subject. A lot of dark colours, trees, track and the viaduct plus the barriers .After a long dry spell we have had some heavy down pours of rain with hailstones in the mix. The gardens and grass certainly needed it and hopefully it will bring the green back into the grass. The lawns are like dry straw quite yellow.

Well that's number 15 completed during this awful pandemic. Don't fancy going shopping after the easing down of sanctions, well not to have to wait for long periods of time to buy anything. It's bad enough to go food shopping.

2 well known T.V. presenters of gardening programmes
A Profusion of Fruit (failed)
For the first time we have given in to this jigsaw, it beat us. have spent almost 2 weeks trying to complete, but with around 85% completed the top left side of the sky beat us. So I have posted a picture of the box

Bought this jigsaw a few days ago. Started on Sunday afternoon and completed it today. The picture looked quiet a challenge but because it was a decent quality it turned out to be easier than we expected
