a cara....thats a fond memory....collecting chestnuts....for conkers....many years ago ay luddens hill fine chestnut trees grew close to the high wall...and fall off to the side walk.....also we ventured into the lawn to collect our booty...we got plenty here but sims field was a favourite....the big perfectly shaped "mushroom" tree dropped quite a store....although the nut was always shiny we would often polish them up some more....those days were alot of fun....here in canada....kids collect maple leafs....as the giant maples shed their crimson leaves.... |
