Conkers are bonkers

Had a great day out with Mummy and Daddy. We went for a walk in an old graveyard which had some horse chestnut trees in it and after a bit of hunting we found four horse chestnuts ... conkers. Daddy says we can put them on string and then take turns at hitting them together to see who's conker lasts longest. Sounds bonkers ... but fun!
