British Jigsaw Library Puzzle

The theme for my latest BCD meeting was 'overground, underground' and this made for an afternoon of trains, trains and the odd womble. This poster was rather pleasing, after we had managed to sort the edges. It appeared that some pieces had more than one home so we ended up leaving the side edges until we had put some of the middle pieces in. However, the combination of grass, lake and castle in the background was lovely and the finished effect very satisfying. 

Time taken: working with friends a couple of hours

I love puzzles like these. I decided to work on the sweets in colour order starting with the black and white ones and leaving the yellow ones until last. The sugar coatings made it possible to split the colours further and the good cut made the pieces fit together well.

 After the flower this puzzle was a dream. Clear characters to work on, different shades of grey and smaller details which kept me busy. A nice way to spend an afternoon.
