Thanks, S. - I got that from Ross, but have not found it on Sky, yet..?
On top of the 60 songs that, at least in theory, I've committed to memory, I have quite a few copies, from DigiTrad etc., and do know of the Gower Wassail. According to "Victorian Farm Christmas" (BBC), they are sung not just in connection with orchards but to will good produce of any kind - wheat, livestock, etc.

Poem 133 of 230: OXFORD BLUE - SPRING 2001
A contract ended/a new one begun, And a move from Bolton back to Bury - A top-floor council-flat, within Radcliffe, Where streets are named from names in poetry, And homes are framed by scenes I'm happy with.
My thirteenth home needed some touching-up, And I chose, in the main, to D.I.Y.; So a nailed off-cut-and-rug make-do Covers the small floor where shelved books now lie - My first study, painted in Oxford Blue.
