Conkers


A Horse Chestnut tree out side my office brimming with Horse Chestnuts or better known in my parts as Conkers. Loved playing conker when i was a kid.
Do kids still play conkers or is it another one of the simple pleasure replaced by computer games hope not i'll be encourageing my two to have a game with me.

    Don't laugh now, but my dog loves to play with chestnuts lying on the ground, in SA we don't have Chestnut trees, but I love it when
    roasted, one can buy a packet full, piping hot downtown, Hmmmm,
    I can walk past a chestnut stand!!

    Conkers are the fruit that a Horse Chestnut produces, kids poke a hole down the middle thread a string down and aim at each other's conkers, the loser is the one whose breaks.
