Hi 

I think normally Ellie request this thread to start on the 1st day of the new month. I am not sure how to request it, so just started one myself, hope it is OK.

  • Myself and mr Simo went here today in Salisbury 

    where we were lucky to meet up with our friend Eddie  

    We had a little stroll around the cathedral then wandered over to the Christmas market. It was lovely catching up with Eddie and I am so grateful that he will be able to attend Ellie’s funeral as I am on a cruise so cannot attend myself.

  • Hi Lee, I searched on Google images and found the exact box that I had (afraid I don't know where it is)

    Here is my jigsaw that I've had for 55 years 

    The results of the Google search show an image of the box it came in but I can't manage to get it copied and pasted here. I'll work on it

  • Thanks Patrick, I found out a lot more about the jigsaw after I image googled the photo I took of the real jigsaw that I've kept on a shelf in a wardrobe in our bedroom since we moved here in 1986. 

    The search results revealed a lot about the jigsaw and one photo showed one of the sides of the box on which was written the 3 jigsaws in the "set". I thought there were only two so the one I didn't know of may have been added after my own and the other one of which I am aware.

    The photo which I put on the site is of the front of the box in which the jigsaw came. Unfortunately I don't believe I have my box still but there's always a remote possibility that it's in our loft. 

    Thanks again Patrick for the suggestion, I'll search the site now as I'm awake due to back pain.

  • Morning TVman, I hope I bring some cheer to you. Is this it ? It’s on EBay xx

  • Yes Angie, that's it. All these years I thought it was a stained glass window of York Minster lol. It's the companion I might buy of Chester cathedral

  • Sorry but I am going to put my Ellie head on here.

    Can we please keep the jigsaw comments to one thread. I seem to be seeing the same conversation happening in other threads. We have the hobby-and-craft-corner which is perfect for your jigsaw chats, but also Tvman had added a thread especially for his jigsaws in the /hard-to-believe thread.

    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Hi Chelle, my hard to believe thread isn't about jigsaws, it's about religious bigotry in Northern Ireland. If you read it again the religious bigotry stems from a jigsaw I wasn't allowed to buy 55 years ago. 

    Hope you don't think I'm publicly chastising you, but I'm not. I can't reply to you privately even though I have requested you as a friend and you didn't reply. Maybe you didn't see it but you should have had a notification. Maybe you could mention that to admin, meanwhile I'll try to send you a friend request again. Fingers crossed this time.

    Love life and family.
  • Hi Chelle, good to know that Eddie is still with us, his post that he sent gave me the impression that he was leaving us. I know he had been very ill and was in and out of the hospice
