Unless it was a joke, in which case I knew it was a joke all along.

  • ...

    The tradition of wassailing (alt sp wasselling)[1] falls into two distinct categories: The House-Visiting wassail and the Orchard-Visiting wassail. The House-Visiting wassail, caroling by another name, is the practice of people going door-to-door singing Christmas carols. The Orchard-Visiting wassail refers to the ancient custom of visiting orchards in cider-producing regions of England, reciting incantations and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year.

  • Full disclosure:

    The Wassailing event is actually taking place at a pop-up cocktail bar which utilises the plants of the Brunel Museum's garden in Rotherhithe to make its drinks:

      • Under the shimm'ring light of a Thameside moon,

        The Wassailer's gather round to toast the tree.
        Our voices raise in joy throughout the gloom,
        "Bring forth thine apples; sweet bough, we sing of thee!"

        A hundred ruddy cheeks glow in the fire -
        Our artisanal cocktails make us cheer.
        And Brunel's mighty tunnel of desire
        Throbs below, makes our tummies feel all queer.

        But what is this strange odour I can sense?
        Coming from my glass, above the fire's smoke?
        My scarf around my mouth in self defence,
        I fear that this must be some sick'ning joke.

        Can there be any greater shame that this:
        Mulled cider, mixed with cruel bedwetters' piss.
