Conkers

Not taken today but thought it was topical. Gone are the days when children used to enjoy playing conkers. It was deemed to be dangerous and the schools banned it! We all survived!
We seem to have avoided storm Ciaran here in Cambridgeshire today, but other parts of the region have suffered with flooding. Wehad plenty of rain instead.

I used to play conkers when I was a child and lived to tell the tale. Glad you didnt have any damage from the storm

A lovely shot, nice light! Our youngest grandson goes to Forest Nursery, and there are photos of him using a drill to put a hole in a conker - at under 3 years old!
