We went collecting conkers with the girls the other day ....

[hallowcarla]

... made some into tables and chairs, left the rest on the garden table - about 30/40. Some little bugger of a squirrel has taken the lot and buried them in the garden. The girls thought it quite sweet - pulled up their chairs and watched. Quite amused us all that H was getting into a lather about his lawn.

Sorry to make such a dull post .... but I've never seen that happen before!

its not dull, it reminds me that autumn is here, conkers, brisk cold mornings etc, soon be bonfire night!..the squirrel probabl couldnt believe his luck! lol@your dh and his lawn!

just read that again..made some conkers into tables and chairs??!!

H will get into an even bigger lather when the squirrel forgets exactly where he's buried the nuts and makes even more holes to dig them back up again! Or when you have small horse-chestnut trees growing all over the lawn ...

pmsl wwb!

Or maybe we just have very thick squirrels in this neck of the woods ...

ooh is it conker time already? Something we can do to pass the time during dogwalking

WWB, I can't wait! There are loads of sycamore seeds from the church next door, too!

sp, my mum brought up an old book from my childhood called "Brownies Make Things" 15p!!!!!

You stick 4 pins in the top, knot some wool round the first pin, and kind of weave it in and out, to make a backrest. Then you stick three in the bottom, do the same, and you've got an armchair.

Kept dd1 amused for days, anyway!
