My mrs. likes to make a Xmas cake and the dried fruit is hellish expensive here, and the candied peel not available, and walnuts are often crazy expensive. It makes me grumpy when I hear about people cutting down a walnut tree in their garden because of the mess.

I've got about 20kg of last years walnuts & probably 10 kg of the year before's. I've taken sacks full to our boules club & now can't get rid of the things.
Loads here if you want 'em.

Cheaper to order them from Amazon than pay the fuel. Thanks anyway.

I've just bought Tourangelle Walnut Oil & Sesame Oil from Amazon.fr which I would normally get from Hyper U or Intermarche but neither had them in stock which has pleased me as they were cheaper on Amazon by 1 euro a tin. OK I had to buy some other goodies that I needed ie batteries for the car fob and the landline phone which I couldn't get locally so managed to spend over the limit to get free delivery and the parcel arrived within 4 days - very happy person

Yes, my BCS order is for things I can’t get here, like certain dried fruits or things that are exceptionally expensive.

I usually make just one order a year around this time. My French friends reprimanded me whilst I was enjoying lunch with them today because I haven’t started my Christmas cakes yet and I always make one for them.
