So I found this Acorn in my school grounds when I was at primary school.

I remember thinking you don’t see these all the time and I brought it home.

I’ve had it ever since (I'm now 40) but it still appears to be alive :D

During winter it will close up and then come this time of year, it does this.

I lifted it just now to sprinkle some water on it and a seed fell out! Surely it cannot be still alive?

Quite pleased I have kept it all these years being honest.

Edit to include coin for scale :)

Christ lol I thought it was an Acorn so whoops.

Didn’t take me long to find that out sure :D from primary school I had myself convinced this was an Acorn. Stick to computers Phil :D
 
LOL That was a thing I had kept from my childhood thinking it was an Acorn. It’s clearly not but I have it all these years only to find it’s not a bloody Acorn :D I would never make it at the gardening game etc it would seem lol
 
I didn’t have much interest in stuff like this being honest.

I was more interested in computing and science but found that big ‘pine cone’ one day at primary school.

I have been well enough educated in computers and finance, but not Acorns and Pine cones it would seem :D

But now I know sure. Everyday is a schoolday as they say :)
 
Engage your thickest skin for the onslaught fella. Good sport tho :cry:

Does your wife not think you're daft each time you move, you carefully packing this away?

Brilliant story only made better by the fact you called it an Acorn tbh. :cry:
 
The Pine cone never leaves me it seems. It just sticks about and reminds me of my youth and inability to identify things that fall from trees :D that’s a lot of years thinking this was a Acorn lads. I am distraught!
