It's the middle of winter in New Zealand and it's the best time to plants trees... Tanya and Pete have just planted thirty plus trees and wanted to celebrate the wonder of trees in the Batt Cave this week.
They start off with a song about trees in the garden, then they sing a traditional English tune used to Wassail (Celebrate) the apple trees that comes from the West Country in England where Peter grew up..
Finally they tell a story from Estonia about a man Called Mikku who sets out to chop a tree down for firewood.... but the trees have other ideas!
