WASSAIL: Is it a bird? Is it a fish? No. Wassail is a tradition lost in the mists of time but is thought to have started with young maidens taking a Wassail bowl filled with an alcoholic brew from door to door to welcome in the New Year. We will celebrate the tradition this tomorrow, Saturday, with an 8pm start. We welcome East Hoathly Morris Men, music, song, a large bowl filled with the Wassail cup (don't ask about its contents, but it certainly warms the cockles) and red ribbons on the apple trees in the pub's garden to encourage them to produce vast numbers of apples. The evening is very jolly and breaks the grey gloom and chill of January.
