Thank you for coming to the wassail last night, we hope that you had lots of fun and that your heads aren't too sore this morning? We were delighted that so many local people came, old faces and lots of new ones too supporting this enchanting Painswick Community Orchard Group event.
John Rhodes led the wassail down to the orchard, many held fire lit torches, whilst others banged their pots and pans. Many of the children wore amazing masks that they had made. In the picture above you can just about see photographer Paul Nicholls' camera lens, we are delighted that The Citizen came and took pictures and look forward to seeing them in print.
After the 'king tree' was blessed, everyone returned to the Church Rooms to listen to live music from Out to Lunch, watch the fantastic Petty Heglers Mummers perform a traditional play and enjoy a glass (or two) of cider!
Was heil to you all and here's hoping all of our merriment brings a fruitful harvest this year.
