I was down at the field to see to the willows, one nice day, the rest weather, got chilblains.
Very wet.
I went to wassailing for the first time and met some amazing people. The couple in matching camoflage anoracks and shotguns, along with another six guns, they fired volley after volley to ask for good apples in 2013, crack, crack, crackety bang, we put soggy toast in a tree and slapped it awake in the dark, cold orchard. A toast to someone past, a volley, a toast to the spring a volley, a toast to the Green-man a double volley, a song about a boxer, and so on . . . .
Songs were sung until late at night, most of which I have never heard before, being from Yorkshire, not Somerset. Several barrels of delicious hot spiced cider were consumed during the proceedings.
I made some willow hearts with fresh willow.
It was a snowy ride back
7 hrs to do 180 miles,
The car looked amazing with two 1.75m hearts on the top, a giant bluebottle, will post a pic later.
I installed the hearts at an event at Jasper Conrans gastro-pub in W2, The Cow near Westbourne Grove.
I made the big flares that are burning each side of the door, what an entrance !
I sat with the flares for H&S and it was good to see people arriving to an exciting, sparkly destination.
Watch this space for more heart designs.
