The kids have become obsessed with hunting for conkers. There are two “conk-conk” trees nearby, one near our house & the other near to Georgie’s preschool. This has resulted in dozens of conkers finding their way into our house over the past week or two.
We were taking advantage of the nice weather earlier in the week to find some underneath the big tree near home, and a helpful squirrel was knocking down conkers from the tree at our feet. We were lucky that none landed on our heads, really – the kids were loving running after the scattering conkers as they fell out of the sky and bounced along the ground.
Summer is definitely over, despite the last little burst of heat this month… and autumn is officially here!





Lovely photos! We are going to search for Conkers today 🙂 x
Great photos, one of my fave memories is going conker hunting with my dad as a kid. And then nail varnishing the conkers to make them super hard! x
I found some conkers last week. My grandad has been on duties to collect for P1.
Conkers are awesome, can’t wait to find some! #mysundayphoto
Great early autumn activity! Looks like they did well with their haul 🙂 #mysundayphoto
Blimey that is quite a collection, we haven’t found any like that yet
Thank you for linking up
Fab photos! We need to go looking for conkers soon! x
Beautiful photos – conkers are so much fun!
My daughter ( and all her classmates) LOVE conker season. Her backpack will literally weigh 5 extra pounds after collecting.
Wow, lots and lots of conk-conks!! 🙂
