Watch Out, Watch Out, There's A Conker About

Picture the scene.



It's a beautiful sunny day, the sky is blue but there is enough of a chill in the air to let you know that summer is over and autumn has arrived. You're walking, actually that should read dawdling at a child's pace, which is the way it should be because you are walking with your child down the school lane. Your sweet child is hunting and grappling through the undergrowth on the hunt for elusive conkers (Horse Chestnut trees grow abundantly all down the side of the lane), not only trying to find the biggest and the best but the most, which is a matter of the utmost importance.



When suddenly... PLONK! A conker falls out of the tree and lands on your poor defenceless child's head! Oh my... the tears did flow...



And the lesson Noah learned today? It's probably best to wear a crash helmet whilst conker hunting - well or get your mummy to get them for you!
