Last Saturday's afternoon at Toryglen Community Base with Urban Roots

Last Saturday afternoon we celebrated the Harvest with many fantastic activities for all ages. Most of the afternoon the weather was sunny and all activities, like face painting, recycling crafts, needle felting and apple juice making could happen outside at the Toryglen Community Base. There was even a mushroom walk through the Malls Mire wood and a bonfire, baking bread over the fire.  Oh, and a most delicious lunch buffet was set up to every bodies enjoyment! 
The music was provided by bicycle power. Sorry, no photo taken. 
I very much enjoyed getting more folks hooked at needle felting :-) Here you can see a few of the beautiful harvest and Autumn items which have been created!
