Pond Cottage: Bishop Burton

A classic village scene from the East Riding of Yorkshire, and the green nearby has enormous Horse Chestnut trees, and today just as I did sixty years ago  I looked around for "conkers", held them for a few moments, then placed them back down in the grass were I  could see from the discarded outer husks that modern kids too had been here collecting them.
Can sixty years have passed so quickly? 
Lets hope the future years will be as kind to today's conker gatherers as they have been to me.
