Jigsaw finally completed … was a Xmas present in 2023, so it’s been a while though to be fair I didn’t start until earlier this year!!!

I’m not really a jigsaw person as they frustrate me intensely and I don’t enjoy them.

Bit of a stinker today. 5 letters right on second go then 6 possible options for remaining 5. Ended up 50:50 on last go … !!!
