As I was a-walking
In the North of Belfast
I came to a-talking
With a girl from Belfast

Love In The Dark

One Night, I was walking alone.
Thought I was talking alone.
So sure I was walking alone,
But I was wrong – oh love in the dark.

Walking through the Meadows on a rainy day
I am a perfect stranger.
I see somebody coming my way.
He is a perfect stranger.
Footsteps of James Connolly

A hundred years before I saw the light of morn,
In Edinburgh’s Cowgate James Connolly was born.
The streets of Little Ireland were his home for many years,
From the West Port to Saint Mary’s Street, you feel him very near.

Hey! Don’t you feel that lovely evening sun?
It’s gonna burn all your troubles away.
So what if we didn’t do all that we wanted to get done,
Tomorrow, that’s another day.
Don’t fall again

I have someone to thank
But I don’t know who.
The elbow of fate twisted nearly too late
Let me be with you.
Sausage and bean pasties

This simple but very effective and recipe was adapted from a parenting magazine, where the use of meat sausages and real cheese was intended.
Vegan Trifle
Last Updated on 12 December 2008 by gerry
This was how I commemorated the Millenium – at midnight on 31 December 1999 a few of us were sat around a bonfire in a suburban Edinburgh garden getting tucked into some vegan trifle! The recipe makes 2 trifles or you can have one trifle and a fruit sponge pudding. Trifle purists will argue of course that you have to have whipped cream and hundreds and thousands on top, but spongey-jelly-fruit with vanilla dessert is good enough for me! The sponge recipe was adapted from Neal Barnard’s lowfat recipe for Fruit Cobbler.
