Here we come a-wassailing

We had a large gathering in the community garden this evening to bless our fruit trees for the coming year.

We sang and blessed each type of tree with rhyme and put a piece of toast on each for birds and insects and we poured a little cider on the roots  to thank for and return some of last year's bounty.

Then we stood around the fire sampling different cakes and gins (sloe and damson).  Am now home, very mellow and with my feet up.  This photo is not from my phone
