Handful of Conkers...

Parking up under a tree on Thursday, I noticed the ground was covered with these guys. I gathered a few up and stuffed them in my handbag. Went in for my appointment and mentioned them in passing to the person I was there to see. She said her wee boy had asked her to get some for him (coincidence!) as he'd just heard about them at school, so I rummaged for the biggest & shiniest and gave it to her for him - i also told her where she could get some more. She said she'd been working there for ages and didn't know there was a Horse Chestnut tree in the car park! Anyway, I picked up a couple more on the way out (still partially in their shells) & grabbed a leaf from the tree.

Injury prevented me from more garden work today in the sunshine, so these became my blip for the day.
