Another Steve Read image in the Ravensburger My Haven-series. Fun and eaay, as these usually are!

Hammer House of Horror, 2023-07-13
There has been very little puzzling going on this month, I’m afraid, but this was an absolute pleasure. I’m not sure why, but I was a little suspicious of Aquarius, but based on this one puzzle, it seems to be an excellent brand. The pieces are thick and sturdy, and the cut is a grid cut with a good mix of piece shapes. I was prepared to put up with subpar quality, since a collage of horror movies is pretty much the best puzzle image I can think of, but happily, I didn’t have to.
I have a DVD box set of Hammer films, and many of the films in the puzzles are included.
There was also a couple of extra pieces in the box:
The pieces fit with the image in the top row, but they were clearly meant to be discarded (and most of them were).
The Solar System, 2023-07-09
I loved doing this! There were strong colours and a space theme, and even some text, although it’s so small that I can hardly read it. This was a Eurographics puzzle manufactured in Europe, but with a grid cut (previous European Eurographics have been random cut). There was a good mix of piece shapes and the cut was excellent, so no complaints.
In the image, each planet gets its own pane, and on the far right, there’s the sun, on the far left, a pane for dwarf planets. Here’s a close-up of Earth and Mars:

Another Zozoville puzzle, this time not belonging to me, but loaned to be by friends. This was lovely, and quite easy to do. Notice how the tooth that’s come out also looks happy 🙂
