A Puzzling Review from Ravensburger
Our children are born in times when play and pastimes usually involve a computer or gaming screen of some kind. My Joe is only 6, but he can already access games and computer programmes in a way that his dad could only dream of. But sometimes it is nice to challenge the brain in ways that don’t involve a keyboard, a mouse or an ipad. Doing a jigsaw is one way to achieve that. Ravensburger may well be considered the champions of modern jigsaw puzzles, producing quality pieces that make up pictures of everything from Minions to Star Wars Rebels.

Nan loved Bingo, often marking two books at a time, each containing six mini boards. I used to be amazed that she could do this all at once – how exactly did she scan those numbers so quickly?

Bingo Helps You Indulge in Some Sinful Cravings of Yours – Here’s How
Quite sometime back I wrote a post on what I would simply love buying if I won a lottery. The list included some of my favourite things, like a walk-in wardrobe, a whole lot of shoes and some lustful handbags presented by Paula Reed at Harvey Nichols. Well trust me, I am still in love with everything pretty and I wish I could grab all those lustful cravings of mine in one go. But alas! to buy exactly what I desire I would need big pots of money at my disposal and that’s where I falter. Of course, as I said in my previous blog, if I could win the…
