First Conker

It started out like this.


Then ended up like this.


I thought they broke open. This one did it all by itself. Ahh!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
