Windmills on jigsaw puzzles

In fact, your blogmistress is a hunter-gatherer :-)

My prizes are wooden jigsaw puzzles related to the royal family.

A few weeks ago I met an other hunter-gatherer from Poland. 

His and his wife's prize are hundreds of jigsaw puzzles with windmills. 

Enjoy the biggest collection of windmills on jigsaw puzzles

and yes, there are windmills in my stock...
