Am optimistic of a paved road thus I am using a rigid frame and fork with 1.25 X 26 tires. My only stuff is at the rack bag.
This was one of several large jigsaws I optimistically took to the BCD House Party in February 2020. I bought it in August 2019 fora reasonable sum, probably because it wasn't labelled as Parker Pastime, had no original box, no piece count or dimensions, and had replacements and a chewed piece. The division of the blank into rectangles is uncommon for Parker Pastime (but not without precedent) and the number and shape of the figurals indicated to me that it was American and likely Parker. I had a bit of discussion about it with an American BCD member who came to the event, in our private facebook group, so I was keen to complete this jigsaw first.
We started on our 1500pc board and I really hoped it would be big enough. The figurals are really quite large - this surprised me, but the largest Parker I'd done previously was only about 400pc. This was taken on Saturday at 13-33. We have made significant progress on the sky, the mill and several large chunks including the wagon. The replacements have proved to be rather crude and I would eventually like to get better ones made. One replacement 'corner' ended up on the floor, which I picked up and put on the next table because it didn't look like our jigsaw at all. We reclaimed and placed it later!
At this stage we knew we'd get it done, but that there was little chance of doing another medium-large jigsaw - not with the large Wentworth tessellation also in play.
The colours and sights of the Nullabour, and visits to many indigenous co-ops across SA & WA. I fell optimistic that an honourable future is possible in which we respect and acknowledge this place's first people.
Because it was like a mill pond and full out, somebody didn't check the tide times!!!

The reverse view along the BRC, as compared to "BRC on Main Street". The BRC really has a great modern architecture that just lends itself naturally to photography.
