Sweet Chestnuts

So many sweet chestnuts this year, dropping like hailstones from the trees. You don't want one of these mini hedgehogs falling onto your head!

One of those damp days usefully looking back over this year to select possible photos for the local calendar I produce and sell in aid of ROKPA (website... https://www.rokpa.org/en/home.html ). Rokpa is charity I once taught with, in the Tibetan region of China. Sadly ROKPA, and other NGOs, can no longer work in China but the money I make goes to educate Tibetans that make the terrible journey over mountain passes into Kathmandu to escape Chinese oppression.

Thanks to everyone who placed the "back scratcher" on the front Popular page, she will be delighted!
