Burn the old and bring on the new

We wassailed around the community garden greeting and blessing the fruit trees and making noises to scare the evil ones. We were led by our butlers ((see extras) and hung holey toast on each tree to attract bìrds and insects and poured cider on the roots to return bounty. We burned the chair as we drank mulled wine and cider and stuffed ourselves with cake and discussed planting plans for the coming year.
