Driving along this morning and passed a few Conker Trees, Horse Chestnut if you want to be correct about it.
On the ground, hundreds if not thousands of conkers.
Sadly it would seem that modern times has killed off the traditional sport, not only of collecting every conker you could, hurling odd lumps of wood into trees in the hope of collecting a few, trading them and indeed smashing each other's knuckles after threading them on a piece of string.
My wife insists that conkers are a deterrent to spiders coming into the house at this time of the year so me and the lass collected a bagful anyway. :d
