On a lovely sunny Sunday, Tracey and I helped Lucy and other volunteers to set up Brixton Windmill's Harvest Festival. We put up gazebos and tables ready for local groups to use. They were showcasing and teaching traditional crafts, such as basket weaving. Finally, we decorated with bunting, to make it bright and welcoming! Many local residents soon started arriving to enjoy the crafts and activities on offer, as well as learn more about the windmill - success!

A little bit of history in central Brixton!
The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits – in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
