Conkers

Last week I used the new trailer with the kids for the first time to talk the kids conker collecting.

It really takes me back to my childhood when we used to try and knock conkers out of the tree in the park, long before they were ready so that we could play conkers.

The game is unkown here and the popularity of conkers among children correspondingly low. I've only really seen people collect them for decoration which is much more popular here.

I'm planning on using some of our swag for decorations both at home, and at upcoming Gonis presentations but today we used some for a bit of family craft time which proved fun for us all.

We made some little animals, here are some pictures, if you'd like to see.
