September Revisited

 Horse Chestnuts Revisited

I compiled this horse chestnut sketch in September 2019.  Horse Chestnuts and Sweet chestnuts were items mentioned in Edith's nature notes in 1905 and 1906.  September 1905 Edith was in the Olton area and found both 'Horse Chesnut' and Spanish or 'Sweet Chesnut' on the Olton Golf Course.

In September 1906, Edith was in Scotland where she saw some huge nut trees, '...the largest Nut trees I have ever seen;'.
