Hunting for more conkers on a warm evening

Had another very busy day at work - they all are! - and then headed off to see my grandsons. I was keen to get out before the gorgeous warm evening light disappeared and so Sutherland and I went for a walk down our favourite tree-lined avenue.

He loves to collect conkers to add to his collection drying on the window sill. One of the big chestnut trees overhangs the cut barley field and we found a few in the barley stubble.

A very simple pleasure that makes the work induced tiredness disappear!
