HARVEST FESTIVAL

Our summer crops are in and larders full So we are now well stocked for winter’s worst When we will face freezing Arctic attacks. Our stock contains dried fruits, roots and nuts Along with several sacks of grain to grind To make the flour to bake the daily bread. And we have pickled veg in pots galore. Beetroot, onions, shredded red cabbage and Several jars of yellow piccalilli. We have some salted meat and some smoked fish. We’ve flagons of cider from fermented pears - Sufficient to keep us high for many years. Once more we‘ll endure wild winter weather. But now we must have Harvest Festival To offer our thanks to Mother Nature For the soil, sunshine and essential rain. Now it's time to taste this season's cider. Our summer crops are in and larders full.
