Yes, OK, know how you feel. Nothing to do, nowhere you can go, stuck indoors all day etc etc. Read the papers, watch TV, nothing but coverage of nothing. Anyway …

My daughter came up with a great way to amuse grandparents (and others too) by using photos of those you know and love. First step you need digital images but you can use them to create jigsaw puzzles. The service my daughter used is myphotopuzzle.co.uk and a pretty good job they do too. You upload the image or images if you want to create a collage effect, this means you don’t have to download any software to fiddle with at home. Having settled on the style of puzzle you’d like you can opt for 100, 200, 500 or 1,000 pieces. It seems there may be an option for 2,000 pieces but that’s not on offer at this minute.

The puzzle sent to us came across from Germany. It’s very well reproduced in photographic terms, the underlying card is stiff, good quality box and all together can’t fault it. Worth taking a look at.
