That is good to hear - and a big surprise as well.

Oh that is such good news that it has turned up. Was quite sad to think it had gone missing.

I HAVE THE JIGSAW!!!!!!!
Well I assume I have it...A Royal Mail package arrived for me today and I refuse to open it until I can clear a space on the dining room table.
So start thinking of the next person!

Great to hear that, Rod! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did.

Pictures please of you and the completed jigsaw -- and any other stage before that too if you like  ;D .

Looking forward to seeing photos of Rod with the completed jigsaw.   :)

Do we have any other volunteers who would like to try making up the jigsaw? 

I found it was great fun tackling the jigsaw particularly as it must have been about half a century since the last time I done a jigsaw puzzle.

Is there only one copy of the jigsaw in existence ?

There is a second one (a different one too!), which I could put into circulation.

I imagine though that when Rod has completed the one he has, he would probably be very willing to send it on to you -- with all the requests to have your picture taken with it and to tell us how long it took you :) .

Hi Isabelle - That would really be wonderful, although it would have to be sent across the pond and I don't know if you would want to do that.  If so, I would love to have a go at it along with picture.

No problem -- Rod is your side of the Pond and your enthusiasm will be a good incentive to encourage him to show us his work!

Good to hear that the jigsaw is on the move again and June will have the opportunity to have a go at making it up. 

Remember to post photos when you receive it June and when you have completed the jigsaw  ;D

Do we have anyone else "across the pond" who would like to try the jigsaw after June has completed it and before it comes back to Europe?
