Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

As John Keats (the famous poet) once said, this is the season of ripe fruits in the UK. 

Conkers are plentiful. See photo.

Too quick - NOT amateur radio

This photo was taken about 9 years ago. It shows one of my grandsons collecting conkers. These are on our kitchen table. 

At the time you think they will be little for a long time. A blink and they are teenagers! Moral? Enjoy every moment.

Season of mists... - NOT amateur radio

Even though I am old, I still get pleasure from seeing conkers at this time of year. The ones in the photo were seen a few days ago.

Conkers - NOT amateur radio

Do kids collect fewer conkers these days? There were loads on the ground in our churchyard at the weekend.
