I live next to a farm, in a hamlet of 8 houses and 2 farms. They are wonderful people. One lot of milk goes to Davidstow for cheese and the other to make Tickler cheese. Try them. Not only that but it is these people who have wholeheartedly taken on wassailing and crying the neck to revive them in our village. It was their idea to celebrate harvest after we had had 2 incredibly successful wassails at our house and them that asked for the wassail to be extended to their farms as well. This year they want us to sing carols in the lane and visit the farms. They are bringing their children up to realise that wassailing and crying the neck are both firmly rooted in their own lives and are a big and important part of farming life. They will make sure these traditions continue. With them as custodians of the future, I can put up with a bit of muck in the lane and the odd cow coming to visit.
