Happy Autumn

Beautiful whispy seed heads are forming on the clematis ...


... and DD brought home 2 conkers. We always pick up the first conkers we find in Autumn, brown, shiny, tactile seeds which will be displayed and played with throughout the season.


Happy Autumn.

  3. Hi,
    First, thank you so much for correcting the 5' for me. Indeed if I was 5" I would be too small for any bag! :)
    Happy Autumn to you too. My Clematis are that whispy too. :) I am planing to pick some conkers with my son this weekend too. :)

  4. I have a ton of conkers - shame they don't keep the beautiful gloss for very long.

  5. My mum always tells me to bring conkers into the house to get rid of spiders. Last time I did this I found one spiders web formed around the conkers, so I suspect it is a falsehood! They are very beautiful though.
