I skipped our nature group last weekend, as I was feeling somewhat exhausted from our very busy vacation. But Exile #1 brought me back a token from the walk - a conker! This is a rare treasure here in New England, as Horse Chestnut trees are not native. From the late 18th century, however, a few began to be introduced in parks and leafy neighborhoods and so, once in a while, we will stumble on one. I just enjoy the way they look and feel. Exile #1, however, introduced the group to the other important purpose that conkers serve in British society!
