I may be some time

Here's a pretty little Wentworth puzzle that I picked up at the museum shop of the Scott Polar Research Institute in the other Cambridge, years ago.



The pieces are still too thin and too gappy for my taste, but what a pleasing image! I do love round puzzles.

And if you're ever in t'other Cambridge (or just Cambridge, if you're British), the Polar Museum has Inuit art; objects made by circumpolar indigenous peoples from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Sápmi, and Siberia; unjustifiable, ingenious scrimshaw; and pathetic gallant remnants of goods from the Terra Nova Expedition. "I may be some time."
