Unlucky Day?
Well today is Friday the 13th! Considered to be an unlucky day by many cultures around the world for all sorts of reasons, both historical, mythological and religious. Many of us are superstitious, black cats, walking under ladders, not tempting fate, crossing our fingers, not sitting 13 people down to a dinner table etc. But, and there is always a but, tomorrow will be Valentines Day. A lucky day for many when maybe your true love will pop the question "Will you Marry Me?"

A little bit of History.
Did you know that the first puzzles came about around 1760, to lighten the severities of victorian education!! The first puzzles were beutifully engraved and hand coloured and embelished maps mounted on to mahogany and then cut using a fine marquetry saw along the boundaries of the countries and counties,and were then used in the teaching of geography. Heare at Grovely we also make disected maps in wood, But now we call them jigsaw puzzles and we also make them in Cardboard.
