My love of puzzles has lasted my lifetime…

I was going through a box of stuff the other day for either a car boot, the charity shop, the local nursery or my grandson and I found a really old and dusty box full of jigsaw puzzles. It took me right back to my very younger days of doing puzzles in the commercial breaks on the telly. I would line them up and Mum and Dad would time me to see how many I could do in the break. I was also given a new puzzle every time I went to the dentist ( no I don’t know why either- but hey who was complaining- not me). Well I have to say my love of puzzles has lasted my lifetime and the major regret I have is I don’t have a spare table I can put a huge puzzle on which will take me 2 years to finish. My love has passed down through all my 3 children and now to my Grandson who is just about at the age now where he can put the wooden shapes into the spaces. So we bought all kinds of puzzles for him, Thomas, Postman Pat, Tweenies you name it they sell it- and brought them out when he came to stay. We did all of them and afterwards there wasn’t a spare inch of floor that wasn’t covered in a puzzle. Strange this was though the Grandson was nowhere to be seen- he was outside putting worms down his trousers!! Maybe he’s just not ready yet?
