Thanks BB. I know the Old Cornwall Society still arrange it on one or two farms but this is the farmers in our hamlet who do it, with the rest of the villagers and a few friends who appreciate things like this. The farmer who cuts, sheafs, binds and cries it remembers actually doing it when he was younger here. We also wassail the orchards on the two hamlet farms and my trees in January.
