That is good to hear, Barrie! Peter is looking for the address of the next person to send it to -- could you please send him a PM with your postal address?

Great to see QE2 continuing her cruise!

And Peter, wonderful photos -- love seeing the work in progress -- well done :) .

Here are the pictures; excuse the quality of the last one - it was taken too close to the jigsaw so the flash washed out the image a bit.

Meanwhile, I have re-packed the jigsaw and all it needs is a name and address to set course for...

Jim, would you like to give this a go after Barrie?

Barrie's PM has been received and later this week the jigsaw will be hoisting the Blue Peter and giving three blasts from the whistle. :)


Now I must concentrate on writing that book review...

Hi All, just to say that the Q E 2 puzzle has docked in Kent this morning at 7-30 am.

We are flying out to Barbados this Saturday to board the P & O  Azura for a two week cruise around the Caribbean Islands, so I will have to wait until we return to make a start on the puzzle.

I will keep you posted on my progress.

In friendship
Barrie

Hello Barrie, hope you enjoyed your cruise and found QE2 safely docked at your house when you returned. I would love to get some news -- and do you have some photos of the mini-refit?
