Adventure Travel: A Do-It-Yourself Dacha in Belarus
On the first day of my vacation this year, I built a table. I'm not the kind of guy who keeps a lot of power tools, but a broad, flat surface was urgently needed on the second floor of our Russian country house (a dacha in Russian) where my daughter and I had big plans to assemble a 700-piece jigsaw puzzle during our holiday.
Buying a table suitable for puzzling in the region around our house was not a solution; our dacha is located in the countryside near Vitebsk, Belarus, a part of the world where the Internet is still rare and there is no e-commerce to speak of. I knew also, from previous visits, that shopping in brick-and-mortar stores was also out of the question. The limited choices offered by the quasi-socialist furniture stores in the town nearest the house would come nowhere close to meeting our needs.
So after sleeping off a nine-hour flight from New York City and a seven-hour car ride to the dacha, I awoke, made some coffee and cobbled together a nice, long workspace out of an old armoire door and some wood my wife had bought to build a window frame during a previous summer. Before I could attach the angle braces, my daughter began to lay out the edge pieces of the puzzle. My project was a success: the table was simple but functional.

Puzzles...I love them.
Kids love them too and Debenhams clearly love us all SO much they've reduced this In The Night Garden Floor Puzzle down to £3 from £5 and with the code I'll give you at the end, you can have it delivered for freeeeee too; yippeeee.
I haven't done a puzzle for years - in fact, all this writing about them makes me hanker after getting one to do - there's something very satisfying about soting out all the corners and then sorting out the edges from the middle bits.
Next comes carefully studying the box and matching which outside bits and corners go where and THEN the juicy bit...working out the rest. The feeling of triumph and satisfaction when you fit that final piece in and complete the picture is quite something.
Puzzles are great for kids as it develops all sorts of things - the fine motor skills involved in picking up and fitting the pieces together, the logical process required to sort everything out and pattern recognition in replicating the picture on the box.
