Could the Top Conker in next autumn’s playground conker fights be growing, deep within these tightly furled buds? Maybe. We shall never know.

Don’t they look fabulous . . . one of MrBs spring treats when he worked was to go to a long avenue near the office where there were chestnuts galore. The colour is fabulous when they are all out 🙂 Not sure I have ever looked at the buds so closely.

No- I have to find one to cut and paste every time! Unless I’m on my phone. Sigh! 🙂

Well, I just listened to Raab and it’s all about staying on message and not confusing the public – so who knows – no doubt we’ll be the last to be told.

I am enjoying looking at the new buds unfurling as an alternative to the wildflowers. And I hate to tell you this, but conker fights in playgrounds are no longer approved of 😦

Actually, I’d heard that. But chose to believe they’d happen anyway. And daily bud-spotting is quite the hobby these days.

Nice to see the potential there Margaret, looking to the future – it budded, it flowered, and it conkered!
