The kids have already been talking about Christmas and have been asking me to get different varieties of large cones. Of course, I said, anything you want daddy gets. Famous last words. Can anyone help please if they have any cones in their gardens. Looking for different types of large size cones. Happy to pay. I'm not sure whether all different types of cones all fall a the same time of year or not but if they dont I woul dbe grateful if you could keep me in mind please. I'm just a father trying to avoid the look of disappointment on my little daughters' faces. :#:D

    Take them for a walk in the woods and they can enjoy collecting their own.

    Before Christmas there will be autumnal gales which will bring down the cones.  If they are back in school, there'll be half term.

    Hidden lockdown problems. Collecting cones used to be a walk in the park :# 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    We have been collecting cones in the woods several times but all that we have been able to gather has been common small tangerine size cones. They have been asking for larger cones and where we are there aren't any that I know of hence why I am asking if anyone has any in their gardens.
