Thank you, amritarosa! Not only beautiful to look at, but a lovely object to hold in one's cupped hands.

So it is a chestnut. Cool.

We have the kind with the prickly pod but not, I think, this other kind. We call the nuts "conkers". Kids used to thread 'em with string and have ritualised duels with them- maybe they still do. The guy who broke the other guy's conker was the winner.

I may plant it eventually but right now I'm enjoying it for itself. :)
