Rating: ★2.7


Bonkers
about
conkers.

She stuffs 'em
into pockets
sacks....buckets.

Any damn thing
...you name it!

it's like an invasion
from another planet

taking over our home
open the wardrobe and...aghhhhhhhh!

A thousand!
Count 'em!

And she loves
their spikey cases

surreal little hedgehogs
alien creatures.

'Baby
in a Mummy! '
she explains.

Her fingers giving birth
to yet an other...

Bonkers
about
conkers
