Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

 

On my walk along the New River at the weekend we came across a point where the path is overhung by two horse chestnut trees. I was amazed to find the ground below strewn with ungathered conkers. A treasure trove when I was a kid. Is it too early in the year? Is this just hidden treasure? Or do kids no longer fight with conkers?

We used to make conker "caterpillars" by threading a few on a string and painting a face on the front one, with toothpick antennas (or whatever they are).
