Well done!

I remember the tugboat well!  That and all the windows of the skyscrapers...

How could I forget the skyscrapers.  When I started to complete that section it looked like I had lots of pieces the same colour but once I tuned in it was quite a good section to do, especially as I had left that section to last and I knew the jigsaw would be completed when I finished that area.
I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

My Mum worked on that section -- saying "How can anyone build such an ugly ship?"... Until she realised that it was not a ship at all, but a skyscraper. Nowadays, it is often the opposite -- we see a skyscraper, and only later realise that it is actually a ship!

According to the Royal Mail tracking system it is in Germany.  So hopefully it will not be too long until it is delivered to Louis.   :)

thank goodness for that; you weren't the only one getting worried!

After a roundtrip to Scotland and back the QE2 jigsaw has arrived safely today.

So glad to see you there with it -- and I am sure it will feel at home in your house :) .

Wishing you great enjoyment as you work on it! And thank you so much, Lynda, for your trouble in mailing it all over again...

Well done! And I love the way you did it -- first the ship and then everything else :)

Congratulations -- you were the fastest too!

As I have no others on the list at present, could you send it back to me please. I shall give you my address in a PM.

I enjoyed this tour of the jigsaw -- thanks to all who participated!
