Here's a very yummy custard tart that Helen made for DK while she was up here for the weekend.
and a yummy little dog (not that I've tried eating her or anything).
Yummy fruit in the bowl...
and delightful conkers (Horse Chestnut seeds) collected by the age-old method of walking along and picking them up off the ground.
Perennial sweet pea seeds collected by Penny in Folkestone and sent to me. Thank you, Penny, I shall plant them in the spring.
and the only surviving Laburnum tree (the slugs ate all the rest) now three inches high on the kitchen windowsill.

Love the conkers picture.
Thanks! I love conkers!
I've never had conkers. What do you do with them besides play games? Do you roast them and if so - how?
They're inedible - it's sweet chestnuts that are roasted, not horse chestnuts. If you don't play games you can admire their form, plant them to get new trees and/or thread them for use in tag art.
A conker hit me on the head today.Quite a blow from that height!
I'm glad that the seeds arrived safely
