If you bang two half shells together you can make a noise like a small horse.

I was thinking smaller still, paint them pink , put `em in a nice box and knock `em out at £4.99 as a 'My Little Pony' acoustic kit.

With three half-shells and a bit of string, you could make an ecological bikini

Aren't you thinking of Kentish cobs ?

[Aunt Sally]

Not had any if those for year. 

I used to know a lady who had a plat (where they grow hazel nuts) and they were wonderful when fresh - moist and creamy taste.

"Plat"  -  that's a new one for me, Auntie.

Do you still get those big ones with the 'frilly' bits round   (don't know what the correct botanical name is for the green bit    )
Used to be a time when you had a choice of hazelnuts in the greengrocer's.

I know a good place for filbert (full-beard) scrumping but i forgot to go this year.

That's the word I was looking for: FILBERT.

You can make Van Dyke Crystals from walnut husks. A natural, waterbased woodstain, different shades from ebony to light brown are made by dilution with warm water. I use them for staining 2 pack filler to match wood.
Never made them myself, i use the Libereon ones, but im pretty sure you just grind then toast the husks.
Enjoy playing with your nuts!

There was a time when you could clean jet engine turbine blades with walnut shells.
