FJ19175 – WASGIJ Mystery 17 – Catching a Break, 1000pc £13.50It’s a peaceful afternoon in this household. Grandad is having his afternoon nap, Granny is knitting something colourful, their grandaughter is texting her friends - wishing she was with them, and the pets are quietly Minding their own business… for once! But what could disturb this peace in the house? Wasgij mystery is the ‘What happens next?’ puzzle concept where puzzlers have to use their imagination and the clues provided to piece together what the scene printed on the box will look like after a sequence of

events plays out.

R13989 – Country Cottage Collection No 13 – Railway Cottage, 1000pc £13‘This wonderfully colourful puzzle shows how an historic station building has been turned into a lovely country cottage. The old track is gradually being taken over by grass and native wildflowers, the platform is a great place to sit and enjoy the peace, a luggage trolley is now just for show and the Gardens are a haven for wildlife. The noise, bustle, smoke and steam of yesteryear have been wiped away to reveal a stylish, historic and thoroughly delightful home. Supplied with in-box leaflet showing additional puzzle image and artist's biography.

G2019 – 2019 Limited Edition - Santa’s Secret, 1000pc £15This is the seventeenth Limited Edition Christmas puzzle and shows the village Christmas Fayre teaming with merriment and cheer. With fresh roasted chestnuts, twinkling Christmas trees and the brass band playing their favourite Christmas carols, everyone has gathered together to make their last minute purchases…including that mysterious man in red! Packaged in a gold box, the 1000 piece puzzle comes with a special serial numbered certificate, making it the ultimate collector’s item. What’s more, this year’s Christmas puzzle is extra special as 2019 marks 100 years since Gibsons was founded in 1919.

The great news is we’ve a new puzzle from Mike Jupp this month – I’ve tried it and it doesn’t disappoint!There are so many new puzzles coming out at the moment that I know it will be di�cult for you to choose all the ones you will like at the same time (I don’t have time to do all the ones I want !). Remember you can always order puzzles from past newsletters too, but it might be worth a call to Mark & Juliet first to confirm they are still in stock or find out how long it will be until they are back.

JigKeep jigging!

I have a collection of 56 jigsaw puzzles of Polperro - all of them di�erent. I would

like to give them to someone (preferably from Polperro or at least Cornwall) who would be sure to keep

them together and not dispose of them separately, and collect them from Exeter.

Mr Clapham, ExeterWe always like to see puzzles end up in the hands of a true collector. If anyone is interested please contact us and we will put you in direct contact with Mr Clapham.

Can you crack these 5 DINGBATS ? Each image hides a well known saying. We’ll give you number 1 as a start – it is “Unfinished Business” (as the word

BUSINESS is not quite finished being written).See how you get on with the other 4 …

Please send your entries by end October 2019 and remember to tell us which puzzle up to 1000 pieces you would like if you are lucky

enough to win.
