I'm not so sure that conkers do deter spiders, just another old wives tale I think, but I still have them around the house in autumn. I still see lots of spiders though. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't get a harsh winter but I'm not very hopeful.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-45127931978992601482019-10-09T07:59:37.750+01:002019-10-09T07:59:37.750+01:00I'm exactly the same, I hate to see summer end...I'm exactly the same, I hate to see summer end.

I didn't know conkers were deemed to be spider deterrents..we are plagued by them so may give that a whirl. I'm always fascinated by plants growing in old walls too, always a lovely sight. I do hope we don't get a harsh winter, but it seems to be on the cards!

I think it will be a hard winter this year, it was quite mild last year so I doubt it will be the same two years running. Conkers come from horse chestnut trees and acorns from oak trees, I'm definitely trying to stop as many spiders as I can coming into the house.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-58259659550655275182019-10-08T16:45:45.525+01:002019-10-08T16:45:45.525+01:00Wonderful that you got in a lovely ramble, between...Wonderful that you got in a lovely ramble, between the rains. Yesterday, here, it was 100% rain all day. Ugh... :-)<br /><br />Really wondering about all this abundance of natural nature food. Isn't it folk lore, that this means a hard winter? We humans should take note, as you say. Be prepared. <br /><br />I have to look up the difference between conkers and acorns. Is it conkers, which are said to deter spiders? It would be worth a try. <br /><br />🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂 wisps of wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995057494013633705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-58027086711129543212019-10-08T16:13:48.913+01:002019-10-08T16:13:48.913+01:00I think you're right.

May I mention that when we were having troubles sleeping (back, shoulders, hips were aching) we decided to get a new mattress? Turns out that was the problem. We hadn't had a new mattress in about 10 years. Thanks for your fern-in-the-wall picture. I make birthday cards for my kids and grandkids and now I will remember how to draw that fern.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128379696456444487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-82039161157935295982019-10-08T08:48:42.414+01:002019-10-08T08:48:42.414+01:00I think Lotherton is Archie's favourite place ...I think Lotherton is Archie's favourite place out of everywhere we take him, he, like us, loves it there.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-70937129704249660532019-10-08T08:47:47.695+01:002019-10-08T08:47:47.695+01:00Don't say that!
