Hw did Connor remembr Darkany??
the train moved along on silent rails. It was a silent andeerie ride. Connor couldn’t see them, but he knew they were there. The dead,the damned, the lost souls, on their way to spend eternity in hell. He couldsense them all around him. He’d stopped seeing them once they boarded, he assumedit was some effect The Goodman had. @katphantom69 hadn’t stopped seeing themthough. They crowded around her, begging for their pleas to be heard, lookingat he with pleading sunken in eyes filled with maggots and bloody tears. But therewas nothing she could do for them once their fates were forever sealed this way,and besides they spoke but no sound came from their mouths. The dead who aredamned to hell, must stay in hell. Some would go on to become demons and lesserevils, but that punishment was only afforded to the ones who completely forfeitedtheir humanity. She put plugged her ear buds into her phone in a closed hereyes, but the music did little to help. Eventually she rested her head back anddrifted off to sleep with her scythe over her shoulder.
Connor rubbed the spot behind Kip’s ( @clockworkvoyage )earsand his tail swished a little.
“I’m sorry for dragging you into this boy.” Connorsaid to him
“You’re the most loyal friend I could’ve asked for, andI promise I won’t let anything happen to you or let anyone take you.’
Kip made a noise in his throat that may have been a purringnoise and leaned in closer. Connor rubbed his ears and neck, feeling the coarsered fur under his hands. He glanced over at Kat then back to Kip, who was alsoshowing the tell tale signs of sleep coming on. His ears and paws twitched alittle, a good sign of a good dream for beasts and hounds. Connor was glad thathis friend would get a good dream before journeying to the one place he didn’twant to go.
Connor himself found sleep a distant memory. He gazed outthe window he could see the darkness becoming almost alive as the train movedalong silently, the shadows appearing to gaze back at him. He turned away, andinstead looked at his two companions. He was worried and scared for Dark, butalso scared for them too, he was regretting ever bringing them along. Then hismind turned to what he had in his pocket. He pulled the silken glove out andgazed at it forlornly and ran his thumb over the symbols sewn in on the back ofthe hand, it even still smelled faintly of Dark’s lavender perfume. It was whathad triggered everything. How he kept his memories of her, how he knew whereshe’d been taken, and who he had to bring with him, and one other thing.
"We’ll find her, won’t we?” A small voice saidnear his shoulder.
Connor turned to see one of the small spirits, hovering afew inches from him. They were all here, and what’s more he could hear them.
“Aye, I promised you all that I wouldn’t abandon her. Icertainly don’t intend to go back on my word.”
One of the small spirits began crying grey tears thatstained it’s sheet.
“Mama-” it began but soon was too overcome withtears to say much of else.
“Hey, hey now. What’s that for. C'mere.” Connorsaid, taking the little one in his calloused hands. Suddenly it was like atidal wave of emotion fell on them. They all came to him and he held them allin his arm. As he looked at them, it might have been a trick of the light buthe could have sworn they looked like a baby for a second.
“Hey I know what,” Connor began, “My Auntie Aused to sing to me when I got like this.”
He thought for a moment and tried to remember how that oldsong went. It had been a while since he sang and it was a little pitchy, and hewas pretty sure he fumbled one of the old Gaelic words but otherwise he stillremembered it.

In January I met with @louismarch.to and @zerogunviolence.movement to support the end of gun violence in Toronto. Tyjjuan Kidd-Bailey, 20 years old, young, viberant, filled with dreams and energy. January 17th his life ended prematurely due to gang violence! I knew Tyjjuan, we shared the same church growing up. This hit me hard! My condolences go out to his mother and family during this hard time. How much of our youth, our black youth have to die before someone demands change! How many young sons have to be ripped away from their families over violent crimes that plague our community. Yesterday I met with Zero Gun Violence, and we talked for hours on how we can tackle the issues in our community and how together, as a people, is the only way that we can make a real change to our neighborhoods. To kick off this new alliance with Zero Gun Violence; Sunrise has committed $10,000 towards Zero Gun Violence and our war on gun violence in our city. To add to this, we will also be setting up donation boxes in all 25 of our locations. The only way to make change is to create change . Only when we stand together as a people will we rise up as a people ✊🏾 Big thank you to Louis March and Danny Stone for taking the time to meet with our team. #blacklivesmatters #endgunviolence #torontoshootings #mustStop #AnotherInnocentHit #blackcommunity #blackexcellence #blackbusiness #blackbusinesstoronto #toronto #thedot #the6ix #northyork #janeandfinch #ardwick #rexdale #jamestown #scarborough #malvern #downtown #regentpark #greatertorontoarea #brampton #ajax #pickering #whitby #oshawa #mississauga #vaughan #canada (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLUAN-GlExt/?igshid=1l8oacaatadoi

14. Frankie Quinn - Effect of Conflict
Tumblr media
Whilst many photographers have photographed the tragic events of the Troubles, Frankie Quinn has documented the effect conflict has had on Northern Irish society. In September, I attended the launch of Frankie’s latest exhibition; ‘Cordon Sanitaire’. Fifty years after the first peace wall was built, this exhibition focused on what these structures are made of and how they’ve shaped the communities that live alongside them. The exhibition concentrated on Frankie’s contemporary photography, however there was a small showing of his first peace wall series taken shortly after the ceasefires in 1994. All of these photos were taken on an old black and white 35mm film camera. Many of them capture the daily life of those living in the shadow of the wall.
When attending the exhibition, one particular photograph caught my attention, so I asked Frankie to tell me a bit about the story behind this image. It was taken in the summer of 1994 during the filming of a BBC documentary that focused on life in divided Belfast. The cameramen were using a cherry picker to enable them to show a different perspective of the wall that divided the Republican Short Strand and the Loyalist Cluan Place areas. Frankie asked if he would be able to take a photograph from the cherry picker; the camera crew agreed.
In a way this photograph was constructed because Frankie arranged for Peggy (bottom left) and David (top right) to stand outside their backyards whilst the photo was being taken. The concept behind the photograph was to physically show the effect segregation has had on local working-class communities. Here we see two neighbours who have lived alongside each other for years, but do not know each other. The wall itself somewhat represents a line in the sand or a barrier to true peace. It nearly divides the photograph itself due to the fact it runs straight through the center of the image. As the viewer, we can see the similarities on both sides; we can see that the houses on the left are the same style of houses on the right, the backyards are similar and the alleyway that runs alongside the wall is the same. We, as the viewer can see this but the people who live in those houses can’t.
Personally, I find the reality of this photo rather stark. It’s a powerful image that illustrates the danger of segregation and division. Whilst the conflict was drawing to a close, communities were still as divided as ever. This was one of the root causes of the Troubles in the first place, therefore as a viewer it’s quite concerning to see that one of the root causes of conflict was still ‘alive and well’ in the 1990s.

Almost Halfway There: Miles 4-6.
Miles 4 - 6
Albertbridge Road - Newtownards Road - Dee Street - Sydenham Bypass.
The next few miles takes us into the heart of East Belfast. As you turn on to Albertbridge Road you will notice a large ‘Peace Wall’ to your left. This separates the Catholic Short Strand from the Protestant Cluan Place. A remnant from the Troubles that continues to enforce the differences between the two communities, just in case you ever wonder why there’s still tension in this city, when you grow up with a literal wall between you and your neighbours you tend to harbour a sense of mistrust.
Tumblr media
Further along the road, you may notice a large stone outside the XOXO Tanning Club. This is the Long Bridge Stone. The Long Bridge crossed the Lagan between 1688 and 1841. It was demolished and replaced in 1841 by noted Belfast architect, Francis Ritchie. While Ritchie was demolishing the bridge, a friend of his, a Doctor who lived on the junction between Castlereagh Street and Albertbridge Road requested a stone from the bridge as a souvenir. Ritchie obliged and placed the stone in the Doctor’s garden. As the years went by, the Doctor’s home was replaced with a bar known as McShannon’s but the stone remained. Local folklore claimed that the Long Bridge Stone was actually the mounting stone used by King William of Orange to mount his horse on his way to the battle of the Boyne, however King William was in Ireland 150 years before the stone was placed there and certainly never made it to the Albertbridge road. The Long Bridge was replaced by the Queen’s bridge, which you will cross around the 9th mile.
Tumblr media
There are a few interesting architectural points along the Albertbridge road. There is the old Musgraves Factory, now The King building, a multipurpose office and retail building, you will notice the balcony above the main door featuring the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales, ‘The Prince of Wales’s Feathers’. If you look closely, you may also see a small statue of an owl attached to the balcony. This is a nod to the scout troop ‘Owl Patrol’ which used to meet in the YMCA Mountpottinger building which is a bit further up on the right. Opposite the YMCA building is the Ballymacarrett Orange Hall, completed in 1901. All 3 are quite beautiful buildings, but unfortunately are in a bit of disrepair.
Tumblr media
Just before you get to the YMCA building, you will notice a small park on the left hand side of the road. This is the Bridge Community Garden which is home to the Soundscape Park Project. Here, loudspeakers are hidden around the garden and play sounds from all over the world, from the crashing of waves, the sounds of the Amazon Rainforest to the factory sounds of Harland and Wolff.
As you approach your 6th mile you turn onto the Newtownards Road, in case the Albertbridge Road left you in some kind of doubt, the Newtownards Road should confirm your suspicions that, yes, this is a Protestant, Loyalist part of the city. You will notice shops selling instruments and paraphernalia for Orange marches and Loyalist band parades, as well as flags supporting the various provinces of the United Kingdom and British Army.
Tumblr media
A prominent building on the Newtownards Road is the Portview Trade Centre. Originally the Jaffe Spinning Mill named for its founder, prominent Belfast citizen, Otto Jaffe it was sold to Mackie’s in 1912 and became the Strand Spinning Mill. Here, flax tow, munitions and viscose rayon were produced until 1983 when the mill closed. It is now home to numerous businesses including Boundary Brewing, a co-op owned local brewery who host monthly tap rooms and supply beer to various bars around the city and the rest of the world.
Tumblr media
An indication to turn right onto Dee Street is the Great Eastern Bar. An absolutely stunning building built in 1890. Named after the Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s iron steamship, The Great Eastern. A ship that was built in London in 1858. It has changed name a few times over the years including the Red Hand Bar and the Ulster Arms, but was changed back to the original Great Eastern Bar in the 1970s.
Tumblr media
Dee Street is home to the Harland and Wolff Welder’s club, you will see a small plaque on the wall outside commemorating 8 men who lost their lives constructing the Titanic. This street will also be your first clear look at the Harland and Wolff cranes, Samson and Goliath.
Tumblr media
As you cross over the Dee Street Bridge, the cranes come into view and you turn a corner onto Sydenham bypass. The Sydenham bypass was the first dual carriageway in Northern Ireland with work beginning in 1938 and fully opening in 1959. 
This isn’t the most interesting stretch to run down, but there are one or 2 spots of interest. You will be able to see The Oval stadium which has been the home ground of Glentoran  FC since 1892 and has been the site of numerous protests through the years, including a protest in 2008 by the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster against the IFA’s decision to hold games on a Sunday. Hopefully they don’t find out which day the half marathon is on this year.
Tumblr media
Come back next time for a little about the next stretch of the race. You’re almost halfway home.
Tumblr media
Thanks again to everyone who has been reading these posts and donating to my fundraiser.
There’s still time to donate here.

Il Pastore Kevin Sambrook ha descritto Ogle come “un uomo altruista e senza paura”, che “ha difeso i suoi figli fino alla fine”. Da lui l’appello perché non si instauri un ciclo di vendette
“Brutale, barbarico e selvaggio”: così il Pastore Sambrook ha descritto l’omicidio di Ian Ogle, prominente personalità nel mondo lealista e suo portavoce.
Sambrook, che si trovava con Ogle negli ultimi istanti della sua vita, ha detto alla congregazione riunita alla Covenant Love Church di Albertbridge Road che “Ian Ogle voleva proteggere i figli più che se stesso”.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1092479640499834886
La figlia, Toni Johnston, ha dichiarato che il padre è stato “il primo e unico amore di sua madre”.
Ogle sarà sepolto al Roselawn Cemetery.
Intanto, un 40enne e un 37enne sono stati arrestati in collegamento con l’omicidio. Le altre nove persone che erano state arrestate sono state tutte rilasciate.

By the end of last summer I was feeling comfortable enough with my own technical ability to start to move away from the straightforwardly representational into the kind of paintings in which I’m driving at something not tied to the way things look but to what they are, to how we mark the land and how it pushes up against us

East Belfast UVF attack Catholic homes in the Short Strand with blast bomb.
Tumblr media
Local Saoradh activists are on the ground in the Short Strand, where the UVF have thrown a blast bomb into Clandeboye from the adjacent loyalist Cluan Place.
PSNI militiamen have insultingly remarked to residents that the “night will only get worse” for the besieged community.
We advise local residents to stay vigilant and alert in the face of this unprovoked State-sponsored loyalist aggression.

HALLOWEEN FAMILY FESTIVAL CULTRA 2018
The scariest time of the year is upon us…Hallowe’en  It’s the time of year when ghosts, ghouls and witches awaken to wreak havoc and instil fear among the living.  Beware the Witching Hour, as this may well be the last hour you ever see.  As darkness falls, the dead come to life and flesh-eating zombies walk the earth hungry for human flesh.  Leave your homes at your peril…don’t say we didn’t warn you.  Happy Halloween from the Halloween Family Festival Cultra 2018.
Fangs for dropping in
So the intro may be a little melodramatic but it is Halloween, and although the living dead don’t actually walk among us (although, Mummy in the mornings….yikes), Halloween is a time for fun, fancy dress, lotions, potions, vampire bats, black cats and witches hats.  For Halloween 2018 we received an invitation from the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum to attend the Halloween Family Festival Cultra, which is situated just outside Belfast.  An invite that we duly accepted.  Lily-Belle brought her school friend Mia, and Matilda was just happy because she could dress up.  Lily-Belle dressed as a Vampiress, Mia a witches black cat and Matilda became a witch for the day.
THE DEATH OF LORD KNOX
Our arrival at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum came after a 2 hour car journey.  Fortunately we were extremely lucky (and surprised) to find a parking space right outside the main entrance.  Other visitors had to park in the lower car park and use a free shuttle bus to the entrance.  The Halloween Family Festival Cultra is a very popular event as the place was heaving.  Thankfully entry queue times were less than 5 minutes and we were soon transported back in time.  Upon entry we were handed a leaflet by a lady dressed in period costume.  The leaflet contained information about the death of Lord Knox, a suspicious wedding to Elizabeth, his estranged son Lancelot and an invite to attend Lord Knox’s funeral at 15:00 in the church.  As well as the funeral, Lord Knox’s killer would be revealed.  Murder…mystery…suspense!  Who would the killer be?
And Lord Knox’s killer is…..
THE CHAMPION OF CHAMP
Our Halloween trip back through time began with a visit to one of the old terraced houses, the aroma of home cooked food wafting out of the front door.  Boiled potatoes mashed with milk, melted butter, cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste…traditional Irish champ!  Small portions were handed out to sample and what a tasty warm delight on such a cold Autumn day.  Inside another house was offerings of freshly baked apple pies.  Bang goes the diet!  Continuing our journey into the unknown, we tread carefully as we walk past cackling witches, monsters, skeletons and superheroes!  SUPERHEROES?  That’s the great thing about the Halloween Family Festival Cultra, it gives young children (and adults) the opportunity to dress up however they see fit.
Champ…the food of champions
Tasty to the core
AS MAD AS A BOX OF FROGS
In the Dispensary Scientific Sue was demonstrating all kinds of ‘magic’ scientific tricks.  This show was what the girls were most looking forward to at the Halloween Family Festival Cultra.  Lily-Belle and I have met Scientific Sue before.  On that occasion Lily-Belle had waist length hair and was plucked from the audience to help demonstrate static electricity.  For today Scientific Sue used Lily-Belle to demonstrate chemical reactions to change the colour of water.  There was also the use of dry ice to extinguish fire, and a demonstration on how to make slime (a firm favourite with the children) and other equally mesmerising experiments.  Scientific Sue is amazing to watch but, if you ask me, she’s as mad as a box of frogs (in a good way).  In all honesty we could watch Scientific Sue all day long, she is truly fascinating to watch.
What do you call a magic dog? A labracadabrador
Taking notions to make lotions and potions
IS THERE A DR IN THE HOUSE?
There certainly was.  Dr Martin was making his rounds at the Halloween Family Festival Cultra.  No doubt having to dress the neck wounds of those who had been bitten by vampires.  He was more than vocal in expressing his views on the death of Lord Knox.  The Dr was also very keen for all to attend Lord Knox’s funeral where he would be divulging who the killer was.  Dressed to impress in his pinstripe suit, black bowler hat and carrying a brown leather medical bag, Dr Martin disappeared down a narrow lane between Cluan Place and Ballycultra Tearooms.  Was Dr Martin the person who sealed Lord Knox’s fate?  Did Dr Martin and Jimmy O’Neill, the proprietor of the Hardware Shop, meet to work on an alibi?  Suspicious…and why was Dr Martin wearing black gloves?
WATCH OUR INTERVIEW WITH DR MIKE SIMMS
Vampires are a real pain in the neck!
Is there a Dr in the house? No, he’s in the hardware shop
SEEKING SANCTUARY AND SALVATION
Feeling fearful, we found sanctuary in the church at the Halloween Family Festival Cultra.  A beautiful building dating back to the early 1900’s, the building was void of all things demonic.  Although, we did see a Witch and a Vampiress deep in prayer!  Maybe a turning point in their undead lives?  Just across the village green the old Picture House was showing a horror film…not for the faint-hearted!  Just a few doors down was Ballycultra tearooms so we took the opportunity to drop in for a feed.  ‘Ghoul’ash for Daddy, Pork and L’eeeeek’ sausages for Mummy, a saucer of milk for the cat (Mia), a bag of Type X blood for the Vampire (Lily-Belle) and a cauldron of critters for the Witch (Matilda).
A cup of tea and a bowl of blood Type X
Lights, camera, popcorn
SENTENCED TO DEATH
Approaching the old Courthouse we saw a sinister figure lurking behind the wrought iron gates, a vampire, fangs sharpened and ready to ambush his next victim.  The Courthouse gave us an insight into the history of law, cops, crime and capers at Ballycultra.  In the chambers Lily-Belle and Mia pretended to be Judges and poor Matilda was sentenced to death!  A tad harsh considering her only crime was ‘being grumpy’!  I’d settle for her tidying her bedroom…far less paperwork!  On to the Wicker Man who was sculpting a magnificent huge throne from willow.  There was also the opportunity for the girls to wear wicker heads.  Plenty of giggles at the Halloween Family Festival Cultra!
Blood donors step this way
Wicker…but not Alan
TRADITIONAL GAMES 
Throughout the course of the Halloween Family Festival Cultra there were lots of different activities for the children to enjoy.  Not wanting to commercialise the Halloween event, the museum had traditional Halloween games such as apple bobbing, magic shows and craft activities.  The girls were less than happy to participate in the apple-bobbing as they didn’t want to get their hair wet!  Mantella had brought a fantastic assortment of animals including a very friendly boa constrictor, a Chilean rose hair tarantula, a scorpion with a definite sting in its tail and a giant gecko lizard.  The children loved handling this array of weird and wonderful creatures….all in the name of education.

THE CLOCK STRUCK THREE
After our encounter with the critters of Mantella we visited a number of the old properties.  Ulster Folk & Transport Museum is a charming place to spend the day and the attraction is steeped in history.  I thought the children would get bored but no, they were more than content nipping in and out of the buildings.  Bong…and the clock strikes three at the Halloween Family Festival Cultra, well…it struck three ten minutes ago.  We’re late for the funeral of Lord Knox!

Fine dining with a musical interlude
A very dapper looking dude
AND THE KILLER IS…
As the saying goes ‘you’ll be late for your own funeral’, that may be so, but we were definitely late for Lord Knox’s!  This will come as no surprise to our regular readers as we are ALWAYS late!  In the pulpit the Minister listened intently as Dr Martin read out excerpts from the late Lord Knox’s diary.  Lady Knox, with a black veil covering her identity; paced erratically in front of Lord Knox’s coffin.  The mourners sat silently, every now and then letting out gasps of disbelief at what Dr Martin read from the little black diary.  Alas, the time had come to reveal Lord Knox’s killer.  Have you guessed who it is?  Watch our video as we reveal the name of Lord Alfred Charles Knox’s murderer…
youtube
Lord Knox’s killer was none other than Lady Elizabeth Knox, but not as you and I know her, Lady Knox was in fact…Isabel Sidegrave….a callous and cold hearted witch who haunts Ballycultra’s residents!  Hysteria ensued and the Minister urged mourners to return home instantly and barricade their doors.  Evil is truly among us!
What a magnificent drama to end our day at Halloween Family Festival Cultra 2018 – in a word, brilliant!
WOULD WE GO BACK
Of course.  Although the Halloween family Festival Cultra isn’t very scary, it is a great event for children and adults.  Lots of traditional games and activities for the children, and there’s also the historical aspect of the visit for the adults.  A very worthy attraction to visit.
With a very special thank you to:
Sinead Cunningham – Head of Marketing and PR at NMNI
National Museums Northern Ireland
Ulster Folk & Transport Museum
Thank you for making our visit fun, special and memorable!  We look forward to seeing you all again in the not so distant future.
LILY-BELLE (age 9) SAYS  I was glad that my friend Mia could come with us.  Seeing all of the animals from Mantella was my favourite part of the event.
MATILDA (age 3) SAYS I liked my wiggly witch hat, but Mummy dropped it and broke it.  The science lady was really funny and she made good slime.
