4 puzzles in a box = a heavy box, but also equals a rather enjoyable couple of weekends. The cut was good and the pictures all great. Good details to focus in on from them all, but trickier areas as well. I decided to do them in order of what I felt was their difficulty, which equated to: Spring, Autumn, Summer, Winter. I tended to start with a key focal point such as one large tress, one area of colour, or the house and then built the puzzle up around this.
Time taken: spread over 2 weekends
Oh dear! Had I not been checking this for a fete I would have given up after tipping it out. The quality was very poor and even when completed some pieces would not sit flat - you can see this in the photo. The picture and subject were quite pretty, but the poor cut really did detract from the overall enjoyment of the puzzle.

Normal cut problems aside this was a great offering from King. I went straight for the sign and lettering which turned out to be a lot of the puzzle done quite quickly. I then built up the cars, followed that with the posters and then placed other things in around it. This ensured the picture built up quickly and the overall result most pleasing.

Beautiful picture, beautiful puzzle, lovely afternoon. The sky and water went first, followed by the green trees. I actually left the red trees until last and the house just before that. The subtle tones of the painting made for an interesting assembly and there is always a sense of deep satisfaction putting together something as beautiful as this!

This was a boomerang puzzle which I gave as a gift to someone knowing I would be able to do it after they had finished. It didn't disappoint. I love putting these types of puzzle together. Finding little signs, labels, colours, and pictures and then working out where they fit in relation to other things is always great fun. These puzzles do take longer than your average block colour ones, but are well worth it.
Time taken: afternoon and evening
These are actually harder than you think they are going to be and having done a 1000 piece one some time ago of a town I knew I was quite relieved to see this had fewer pieces. There are some little tricks you can employ like looking at the house orientation on pieces, but essentially there are lots of roads to confuse. I put some of the larger names in first which gave me reference points as well as the river and railway line. Not a bad challenge though.

In a market seemingly dominated by Gibsons and Ravensburger I always enjoy a WH Smith Puzzle. The cut is of good quality and the card is thick enough for a good click. I was given this by a family member who lamented that there was too much blue and grey for him. I, however, always enjoy sky as it has subtle shades and palettes which I enjoy piecing together. I actually decided to leave the house until last on this occasion, getting the slightly trickier flowers out of the way earlier on.
