		<title>Island dreams and reality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
On summer holidays we dreamed of living on the island.  We picked drift wood on the beach to fire the old Rayburn for the evening meal.  When wind battered the cottage at night we poured whisky and listened to the radio crackling news from the mainland. It was all part of the dream (not the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Power of the people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s real people power for you. Yesterday in the debating chamber of the Scottish Parliament we voted in favour of a maximum wage, a cap on bank bonuses and renationalisation of the railways. And, no, I wasn&#8217;t dreaming.
Admittedly we probably did not represent a typical cross section of the British voting public.  This Festival [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out of the heat and into the cool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As seen from the minstrels gallery
On a brief break from the heat of the kitchen this was a moment to enjoy – overlooking the Out of the Blue Drill Hall Arts Cafe transformed for the night into the World Kitchen in Leith. But there is something else about the sound.
Music, provided by our minstrels Anny [...]]]></description>

		<title>Travelling light with the World Kitchen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The food miles are short – but the memories go back a long way.  That thought struck me suddenly when I was driving through Edinburgh with a back seat full of cakes so beautifully made by a young man far from home.  It was a good time to remember what the World Kitchen is all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sure the World Kitchen can stand the heat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Helen we have a cunning plan.  A table plan, that is, for the World  Kitchen in Leith event at Out of the Blue next week.  More to the point  we also have a menu which makes us hungry just to think of it – and it&#8217;s a menu you won&#8217;t find [...]]]></description>

Blue sky thinking: what Edinburgh needs.
On a grey Edinburgh summer&#8217;s day I jump off a bus painted with blue skies and fluffy white clouds and on to the tram in Princes Street.  It isn&#8217;t going anywhere of course but it&#8217;s still a great ride if only to dispel  myths and misconceptions rumbling around town.
The tram [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweetly subversive in Castle Street</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Poetry as graffiti, a brilliant combination by Banksy (picture by CodySimms)
I like to think this could be a sweetly subversive movement: poetry in motion, gently working its way into the nooks and crannies of city life; sometimes soothing, sometimes stirring.   In London this summer at least some of the 3.5 million daily passengers on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gormfull on the Water of Leith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One piece by the bridge at Stockbridge
By the time we got there the red bikini was off.  But the naked body in the water was discreetly half hidden by foliage.  A couple pass by not quite sure what to make of it, &#8220;Look,&#8221; says the woman, &#8220;there&#8217;s someone in the water.&#8221;   Which would Gormley prefer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to save a million George? Invest in young people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Job schemes for the young have taken the first big hit in George Osborne&#8217;s deficit reduction cuts. It&#8217;s dogma over common sense
Another gorgeous day.  I haven&#8217;t switched on the radio yet because I can&#8217;t quite bear to hear what less than gorgeous George is doing to the economic climate of the country. Is this going [...]]]></description>

Public space for people
Sunday lunchtime. The sun is shining, the pan pipes are playing and the waiter is serving sea food and pink wine at the table next to us.  If you shut your eyes you might be in a typical street cafe in a typical European town centre.  And of course that&#8217;s where we [...]]]></description>
