    ......I've noticed that some of the horse chestnut trees round here; for whatever reason, aren't carrying their normal abundant supply of conkers this year, BUT what conkers there are hanging the trees are HUGE, still in the cases I know but odd ones have been dropping and I kid you not they're approaching the size of tennis balls :hate-shocked::snork:, when they do start dropping I don't want to be below them thats for sure :heehee::runforhills::snork:
