Trees of Innocence and make-believe

Many of my formative weekends were spent in these trees:

the Conker Tree, Aesculus hippocastanum, Carr House, Holmfirth

The conker tree was the hardest to climb, and the scariest to be in, all rough and sharp and dangerous - definitely the domain of pirates, picaroons and padfoots.
