A view from Jeanneb

Got there!

You have a blip of my completed Sistine Chapel jigsaw today as although we have been into Bradford this morning it was wet and I completely forgot to take my phone as it was charging. So no nice pics of the inside of The Wool Exchange, which is now Waterstones or the lovely City Hall.

We were going, on the bus, to collect an order from Waterstones. No problems there, a quick look around and although they have a nice cafe, we went on to M&S for a free coffee with my vouchers. It was announced on last night’s  local news that this branch is earmarked for closure. We don’t use it much but it’s a shame. The Broadway centre was much delayed in being built and hasn’t been open that long. It’s chief attractions were Debenhams and Marks and Spencer’s which was moved from further up the city. Debenhams of course went in very short order as the whole brand collapsed. M & S seem to be getting rid of city centre shops in favour of out of town ones. I was shocked a while ago to find the city centre branch in Bristol had disappeared. 
A nice coffee and then got some Cambazola and St Agur cheese from the food hall, there hasn’t been any in Guiseley food shop for weeks! 
Chris spotted a branch of Santander bank as we were leaving, the one in Bingley is now closed!. I’ve been getting emails about what to do with my money now my account has matured. Haven’t been able to even find that account and I was worried it could be a scam. A very nice lady helped me sort out 4 accounts that needed closing. Sadly not lots of money in them, most had less than £1! She transferred the monies ( less than £20) to my current account and closed all the others. Hopefully there will be no more emails.

Now to find the bus home . The  Interchange (bus-station) is closed because of concrete issues we believe. We asked our bus driver on the way in where to go for the return bus. We got there with a half hour to wait as always but when it came it stopped on the other side of the road from the temporary bus stop and where all the information signs indicated. No matter we got on it and home without any problem. A successful morning!

The jigsaw was finished at the weekend. As you can see each edge is the forward edge.
Quite a puzzling puzzle!
