National Jigsaw Day - Wentworth Puzzles

This Thursday is National Jigsaw Day. Wentworth started the day up last year and are so are celebrating the 2^nd Annual National Jigsaw Day and sent me one of the fabulous jigsaw puzzles to do ahead of the day.

Wentworth Jigsaw Puzzles are puzzles like no other. With most puzzles, you start with the corners and the edges and work your way in. Not so with Wentworth. Not only are the pieces somewhat different to other pieces with special whimsy pieces each unique to your puzzles but they have no edges…or corners!!!

Wentworth sent me the lovely WinterIn The City which as you can see if a gorgeous and vibrant painting and captures any of the capitals famous landmarks and is the perfect jigsaw to while away the early dark evenings.

I’ve always thought that Wentworth puzzles make fabulous presents. The pieces are of course made with wood and come in a lovely drawstring bag. They really are a keepsake, especially with the unique pieces they include.

I love the unique pieces in the puzzles as personally I think there isn’t the slightest chance that I would have been able to complete this puzzle without them. Aren’t they fabulous though? My husband having laughed at my anguish had me breaking it up and handing it over to him to create and a week later is still spending many hours bent over the puzzle sorting out the relevant pieces! The kids can’t help themselves though and occasionally come over to pop a piece in only to walk away a good half hour later! I love having a jigsaw on the tables over winter for this very reason.

Wentworth have their puzzles in all different sizes and this one comes in 6 different sizes – mine is middle of the range at £29.00 but for a 40 piece its £7.25 and for the largest at 1500pc is £175. Personally, I think you might have to be a chess champion to complete that one!
