Alex and Fonz face the daunting task of washing and shearing the sheep by hand, and are less than impressed with their refreshment - a 'posset' made from hot milk, ale, nutmeg and pepper. The team organise a festival to celebrate midsummer, with a feast of elderflower fritters, mutton and sops in wine. They also light a large fire and perform dances to ward off evil spirits
