Yesterday's #wassailing.
Led by the #Eynsham #Morris, villagers processed through the orchard banging pots and pans to scare evil spirits, and singing to wake the apple trees and encourage them to produce a good harvest.Spicy cider was readily available to everyone present, warmed on a roaring fire. And toast was hung in the trees - a gift for the good spirits. The birds will be pleased. 😀
Long may this ancient #folktradition continue!

This Saturday, January 18, #McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse is hosting its 8th annual #Wassail #Cider Fest, based on the old English tradition of orchard wassailing to “awaken” the apple orchards. Of course it wouldn’t be a cider festival without plenty of cider to drink as well, with over 20 cideries represented and pouring their wares.

It may have been a *little* damp yesterday, but a crowd did turn out for the 2025 wassail, with music and entertainment from Swindon Folk Club and Devizes Jubilee Morris.
What a lovely ceremony - songs, dance, and waking up the apple trees with apple juice and toast! Museum director Mike confirmed we had a lovely harvest last year; let's hope it's the same in 2025.

A lovely day on Sunday, being a violin-playing bear for the Lions part's Twelfth Night celebrations on the Bankside outside Shakespeare's Globe and at Borough Yards.
My bear has new feet this year - much warmer!#musicianlife

I'm a history buff as well as a film buff, and I am like my dad a good cook and baker. If you like historical recipes, watch this:
