    Kids these days dont seem to play conkers like we used to. Loads of them around by me on the hill. They would have been snatched up in my day.

    Snatch them up yourself and put them in a bowl or a vase or on a shelf/fireplace for a completely free autumnal home interiors display @amber03 😊

    Also, conkers are meant to stop spiders from coming into the house, my mum used to have them on all her windowsills.
