Though I've not really a sweet tooth I do love mince pies. These look good. They are best eaten warmed...

This one was fine. I’d never had this brand before, but the international market, for whatever reason, was nearly skint on any Walkers products, and these intrigued me, since I’d never had them before.
 
My advent calendar is produced in France, and stuck in a French distribution centre. I was suprised to find out about that, as the website is Dutch and offers delivery by our Dutch postal service. Guess I'll have a pretty late advent with Bonne Maman!
 
Mrs. Yorky has decided we are to decorate the Christmas Tree again this year.

I may take pictures later.

Later.......

All mail sent by DWP to Thailand from UK is first sent to Holland or Italy for distribution. This adds a few days if not weeks to the time it takes to reach me. I assume that it must be cheaper as other than that I see no advantage.

DWP = Department of Works and Pensions.
