Kindergarten children gather chestnuts in the fall.
Comments
It's such a simple pleasure but a joy to see. I still watch children stop daily to gather them outside my building and it brings back memories of conker fights at school.
Vanessa, we never had chestnuts where I grew up, so it seems intensely romantic.
Marion, it's taken me a while to realize the city is probably at its sweetest this time of year. That tip into fall, that marriage of nostalgia and desire, is an essence of Berlin.
