A childhood memory

I am not sure if there is a  challenge this week for Tiny Tuesday. Anyway this is a quick blip from an item in the  pantry.
Clue: we eat them.

Walnuts evoke a special memory for me. Years ago during a thunderstorm on the  farm in Wales our big walnut tree in the orchard got struck by lightening and came crashing down.  
My brother and myself rushed out to see it then we were deafened by the noise as it fell and ran indoors again, terrified at the force of nature. We were about five years of age.

Strange how something as ordinary as a walnut can bring back strong memories.
