Our last day at Gembrook Retreat was their community chestnut harvest day. It was the first time the sun peeped out and so the day was very perfect indeed. We both went into the large chestnut orchard along with many other and found more than enough to bring home at the end of the day. We can't take too many because chestnuts don't keep too long and any we don't roast soon enough will go bad. The fresher the better for easy roasting and pealing.
A fire at the ready for immediate roasting of chestnuts, and because a fire is a fire
Score the chestnuts across one side before roasting, or they might explode
We actually spent more time socalising at the fire than gathering chestnuts
There were even carrot cannon shooting sessions for the kids
