Extract

My family enjoys doing large jigsaw puzzles. We find a large table, lay out all the pieces face upwards, with the edge pieces separate, and build up the outside first. Then we usually try to follow obvious boundaries—between sky and trees, or shore and water, for example, though sometimes a single brightly coloured object catches our eyes and gets built up in isolation.
