Yes, cos autumn 2004 here = nothing, autumn 2005 = about 7, the next year about 50 and the year after about 500(!!) and so it went on until 1,859 in autumn 2010. I have the note pinned to the pinboard beside my desk here. ;D Yeah I'm sad and it's all I can do to not go and count all the bagged up walnuts.......I'm having to stop myself.......  Got an idea to speed up your nuttyness - why not count how many is in one bag and weigh it then you'll have an av and can start knitting instead.......... ;D |

Sadly I won't have time to collect chestnuts this year as they are already dropping. But they take so long to peel after boiling it is very labour intensive. Luckily I have a few prepped ones left in the freezer.
Maybe I'll find some down in the Basque country so can bring them back with me - and have a car full of maggots! ;D

Please may I report, proudly, my crop of nuts for 2011.
I have attached a photograph for you all to peruse and admire.
Lady S suggests I enquire if any member knows of a dwarf conker league, or if it is garden etiquette to string the conkers and attach them to the hands of Garden Gnomes.
Mmm perhaps should have asked ElfyX.......

What coin is that - a tiny 5 cents euro coin? You should be very proud of yourself Lib.  |
