Another Horse Chestnut shot, without leaves this time. They are known as conkers in the UK. Children used to play games of conkers, until it was stopped in schools - health & safety!
@wakelys I know, what’s a few bruises between friends! Do you remember “clackers”, can’t remember their proper name. The two balls that you hit together - they got banned too!
I used to love playing conkers. Shame it was stopped. No sense of adventure these days. I wonder how we survived sometimes with the things we got up to when we were kids.
Super in such a high key background. I loved playing conkers in the playground. All banned now in the ridiculously over PC world we live in. I will still teach my grandchildren to do it in the garden, should I ever be lucky enough to have them!
