It really is a shame that a lot of the games we use to play all the time, you don't see anymore...we all survived, why wouldn't our own kids??? As you said, these safety obsessed councils have ruined all the fun! Love the leaf collage you and Sam made...delightful!!!

It's fun to read about these old games. There are so many things we did in our childhood which are deemed as too dangerous now. Amazing, isn't it?<BR/>Now climbing that big tree could definitely be dangerous. So glad you survived relatively unscathed :)<BR/>I couldn't guess which collage wee Sam created. They're both so pretty. We're so far apart, yet so much is the same!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25007044.post-1163516699348015962006-11-14T15:04:00.000+00:002006-11-14T15:04:00.000+00:00Horizon,I love Conkers.I blogged about them, and t...Horizon,I love Conkers.I blogged about them, and that game earlier.Too many liberals now making absurd rules up.I can remember getting smacked on the hand by bad conker players, as a tactic.Its a tradition that needs keeping alive.The UK is the only place it was played..David (Snappy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06888061575577254705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25007044.post-1163511154411621642006-11-14T13:32:00.000+00:002006-11-14T13:32:00.000+00:00I hadn't heard of conkers before.
