Today we made our own Yule log. This is the first time we have ever made one and we have the added bonus of being able to burn it on our own wood-fired stove. In old Viking tradition it was decorated with greenery - ivy and holly. The ashes will be scattered on the allotment where we grow our fruit and veg. The Festival of Yule, based around the the winter solstice, is meant to bring us prosperity and good health in the year ahead. We could do with it!
