A wassail we shall go.......
Wassailing is a South West tradition, performed with the intention of ensuring a good crop of apples for next years harvest. We shall be singing and drinking the health of the trees and hoping to scare away the evil spirits (trust me, with my singing this should be easy peasy!)
Tonight we head to the Lamb Inn, Sandford, our fabulous local pub. There we shall be enjoying hot mulled punch and apple cake, no doubt accompanied by music, banter and dancing. Todays glorious sunshine is quickly ridding us of the frosty night and so I'm really looking forward to wrapping up and joining the wassail King and Queen as we process our way to local orchards. A fun night and I bid you all farewell  and "waes hail!"
