Fiction Writing
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because itâs a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! Iâm a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

I love the blossoms, and the nuts are great for the fall game of conquers!

I have even had a tree grow from a conker

Oh, that is an interesting one. The only exotic (non native) sort that I ever met is the red horsechestnut. It is fruitless here, but I suspect that, because it is a (possibly sterile) hybrid, that it is fruitless everywhere. The very few mature specimens that I met were exemplary specimens. I still believe that it would be an excellent urban street tree. The roots of the mature specimens were remarkably complaisant. Yet, it is very rare. Anyway, the native species defoliates for the middle of summer, so is not such a good choice for refined landscapes. Also, it produces those big seeds!

I once grew a tree from a conker (that is what we limeys call the fruit). Actually as a kid we used to put a string through them and have conquer fights. The conker that was not broken in the game was the winner.

I have heard of that from English interns. It seems silly; but they think that it is silly that I use them for laundry detergent.
