Ripe Conkers yet ?
I found a shiny Conker lying on the ground by my pond this morning. I was surprised as I thought it was early for Conkers, it was not in it's shell and no shell to be seen and the nearest known conker tree to me is roughly a quarter of a mile away. I'm assuming that a Squirrel had bought it to the garden and got frightened off before it had a chance to bury it or it stopped for a drink at my pond and forgot to collect his nut ! Has anyone seen ripe conkers this month ?

Not yet, am on the lookout because last year I collected some and placed them in strategic places in my house as they are meant to deter spiders :eek:
It seemed to work so this year I want to collect bucket loads :rotfl:0 -
Oooh that's a good tip I have never heard before, I hate spiders! I know where there are horse chestnut trees in abundance and will do a detour there this weekend to see if any ripe! If so the house will be decorated with them!"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0
