First conkers

Yesterday the ground was covered in conkers (from the Horse Chestnut Tree) following the high wind and torrential rain we had on Sunday.

Oh yum roasted with butter

[Pam Knowler]

@Dawn Conkers are from the Horse Chestnut Tree and are poisonous. You are thinking of Sweet Chestnuts which are fabulous roasted with butter and used in many different recipes. They look similar but don't get them mixed up and eat conkers by mistake.

Love this photo! The yellow tray contrasting with the brown conkers & the sign is the cherry on top!

[Pat Knowles]

So shiny when they first come out if their case……

[Casablanca]

Love the way you set this up.

Takes me back to childhood, we used to play conkers. I expect it will have been banned these days because we often got injuries

[Jane Pittenger]

The sign in the background is a delightful contrast

[Issi Bannerman]

Super!
