Pumpkins For Halloween

The candle light helps to keep away those scary spells, so have a bit of fun and cut a pumpkin face. It is alot easier using a pumpkin than a turnip as was the tradition when I was a  child. So join in the fun for Halloween and and have a pumpkin face on show at the front of your house for Halloween.

You're Never Too Old For Conkers

Let's play, you are never to old for conkers. To start with you have the enjoyment of collecting them, always best if a couple and try it without the children. Then we have the threading up and the big decision of what type of string to use. Then the ulimate debate - to use the conker natural, bake it or some would say to soak in vinegar. My choice would always be - natural. The point is, so much fun can be had, who needs an X Box or Playstation?
