Just another Day
Some days are just another day. Nothing special about them. Ordinary days when many of us do the usual things. Go to work, walk the dog, do a bit of shopping, maybe do a bit of a puzzle! After all not everyday can be special. However today is a little bit special for us here at Grovely Wooden Puzzles because we have come up with a new idea (well new to us) for boxes for our wooden puzzles. With the help of a very nice designer we have designed a simple wooden box with a push

Happiness Day
Apparently today is Happiness Day. It seems that every day now celebrates something. It is also the spring equinox when the daylight and night time hours and nearly identical.

At Grovely puzzles we make lots of different styles and types of puzzles, Photographs, Artist Puzzles even a bit of AI and some cartoon

As Brownies and Cubs we were encouraged to think of others and help others not just on this day but throughout the year. This year was the 100th Anniversary of Thinking Day and it was commemorated across the

A Sad Day
Losing someone from you life is always difficult even if you have never met the person, have only spoken on the telephone and corresponded by email.

Originally just for her own sales, then we came to an agreement to offer them to our own customers. Sadly last year Tina was diagnosed with an uncurable cancer and lost her life earlier this year. Her images are delightf
