Jigsaw Puzzle, our passion.
Saturday 17 February 2018 : Second edition of Jigsaw Puzzle Context of Sart-Lierneux
On Saturday 17 February, it is already the third contest of the year, and the second edition of the Lierneux contest which we had really liked last year, organized by the team 1001 pièces. This year again it was a success, we had space, we really liked the puzzles, the food was nice and the atmosphere very friendly.
I already spoil the end announcing that We are puzzled ! finished first in the ranking, and I can tell you it was not a foregone conclusion… Amongst today’s team members, two were ill; the third could not come and we had issue a call on social media to find a last minute replacement. Thankfully Corinne answered to us, although she had the flu too! She was not much experienced and probably was a bit intimidated at first, but it’s certainly thanks to her that we could win; two extra hands to sort pieces and assemble some is very important!
The competition started with a very classical puzzle, representing Neuschwanstein castle; who never did similar a puzzle! But personally it’s a memory trigger, I remember evenings puzzling with my grand-mother.
The next puzzle was a 500 pieces with kittens, and then a more difficult puzzle of 1500 pieces very nice and colourful. Next came a 1000 pieces with black and white pictures of London, with some typical details in red. This one was quite difficult to sort out once the red pieces were out, but we could make it on time to get the last puzzle: a 2.000 pieces showing a colourful street in Cuba, from which we were able to assemble 681 pieces. And note the Yakatrié team finished third on this competition, while they were only 2 members ! But we could not expect less from Sophie et Patrice de Goncourt:-)
Beautiful edition which allowed us to travel thanks to the nice puzzles!
