I was only mentioning conkers yesterday. Apparently, putting them on the windowsill discourages spiders from coming in the house. I don't know how true it is, but we've had some whoppers in our house just lately, coming in from the cold I suspect, so I might have to give it a go.
Ah such memories. Some years ago we took our girls conkering, i.e., getting them off the trees which involved throwing a stick up into the tree. To bring the conkers down. I ended up with a split head, dont heads bleed! Made a change for me going to casualty instead of the girls. Who I hasten to add fell off bikes frequently and out of trees, nothing sinister.

that does indeed bring back super memories. We used to put ours in the oven to harden them up. Then I remember something about vinegar?
