Here is a picture by Stephanie entitled Conker Heaven. What I'd give to be walking down this lane catching leaves and admiring the rich colours of conkers.

We went to the church to tend to Dad's grave yesterday and Aaron was so excited when he saw all the conkers he said "It's conker heaven!" My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I wish I could transport myself and my family over there for a nice long walk. "Beam me up, Scotty" My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It's a great autumn this year, the colours are more vibrant than ever. I remembered you putting the thread about conkers so I took some pictures. Aaron collected so many as it's pretty quiet up the lane and so there were lots. You could hear them falling from the trees as you walked. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA	Posted at 18:27 on 12th October 2008 I love the sound of conkers falling (and the subsequent hand over head movement). I love the sound of dew dropping through the leaves. I love to catch leaves as they fall. It's tradition that the first leaf you catch you make a wish. I love Autumn!

Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA	Posted at 18:49 on 12th October 2008 A conker is the seed of the Horse Chestnut Tree. It sits within a green shell covered in protective spines, and when opened is this most wonderfully shiny nut. In the olden days folks would gather the conkers, pick out the best ones, drill a hole through the middle and attach it to strings. Then they would have conker matches, swinging their conkers at their opponents to see whose would break first. Here is someone else's picture of a conker. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b217/strangey05/Conkers.jpg My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA	Posted at 19:00 on 12th October 2008 Maybe all of you in England can go out and take some pictures of conkers for us. You can add this to your assignment of taking pictures of church interiors decorated for Harvest Festival and tractors ploughing fields . My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It has THE BEST pictures of conkers, and tells you all about the game to boot. http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/conkers.html My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
