Wassail queen

Went to the wildlife park this morning it’s volunteering day. We were finishing off the brush clearing that we started before Christmas. I helped to clear some  of the grips that let the rainwater run off the road 
We finished at 2 and then gathered at the community orchard for the ancient wassail ceremony. Two of the volunteers are from the southwest where this old custom is still done. An apple cake was divided up and a hard pea secretly put in one of them and whoever got that piece was king or queen of the wassail. We also had spiced apple juice. In the southwest a lot of cider is drunk. We sung a traditional sons and I played some music on the little organ
Great fun
Sunny and cold all day, ok when we were working but soon got cold when we stopped
