STORYTELLING SESSION REVIEW: WEDNESDAY, 1ST APRIL 2026
An entertaining evening was had by members old, new and returning at the Community Shed, Alloa.
The evening began with the host, Oor Gail, sharing April Fools stories from 2026, then we warmed up by playing “two truths and a lie”.
We heard original poems and a well-known folk song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone” as well as tales of Persephone, the origin of midges, “The Willow Tree”, “The Bluestone of Crail”, how the hare restored the sun to the sky amongst others.
