In the middle of August we went for our first family trip to the snow (without Robin unfortunately, so we took Joe with us instead).
On our way down we drove through Canberra and Joe had a memory of gathering acorns there years ago with his mum. He wanted to do it again ... so we made a detour off the main road, found a park, and collected acorns!
For us it was amazing and wonderful to find them literally scattered along the street! We thought it would be hard to find some, but there they were, at the first park we stopped at. People walking their dog even stopped to ask what we were doing - we must have looked so excited and interested.
There were long acorns, fat acorns, one with their furry hats still in place and others without them. Occasionally some were still green too.
Weeks after we came home, the girls planted some - we may have our own little Sherwood Forest soon!
As of March 2018, no acorns have sprouted.
