It’s amazing how you
Can speak right to my heart.
Without saying a word

You can light up the dark.

Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing.

[Chorus:]

The smile on your face
Let’s me know that you need me.
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me.

[Album version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall.
[Live version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

All day long I can hear
People talking out loud (oooh).
But when you hold me near (you hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (the crowd, the crowd).

Try as they may, they can never define
What’s been said between your heart and mine.

[Chorus:]

The smile on your face
Let’s me know that you need me.
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me.

[Album version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall.
[Live version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall.
[Album version:] You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.
[Live version:] ‘Cause you say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.

[Chorus:]

The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me.
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me.

[Album version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall.
[Live version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall.
[Album version:] You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.
[Live version:] ‘Cause you say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.

(You say it best when you say nothing at all.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.)

That smile on your face,

[Album version:] The truth in your eyes,
[Live version:] The look in your eyes,
The touch of your hand
Let’s me know that you need me.

(You say it best when you say nothing at all.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.)

[Live version additional ending:]

The smile on your face,
The look in your eyes,
The touch of your hand
Let’s me know that you need me.

* 100 g caster sugar
* 4 egg yolks
* 300 ml milk
* 300 ml double cream
* 2 vanilla pods
* 1 ice cream maker
* 1 heavy based pan
* 1 whisk
* 1 chopping board
* 1 knife
* 1 large bowl
* 1 Tupperware for storing

Step 2: Heat the milk
Place the pan on a medium heat, add the milk and bring it to just under boiling point. Do not allow to over heat or it will spoil the sauce later on.

Step 3: Whisk sugar and eggs
Place a damp towel on your work surface and put the bowl on top. Add the sugar and egg yolks and whisk together until thoroughly combined.

Step 4: Add milk and transfer to pan
When the milk has heated up pour it, little by little into the bowl of eggs and sugar, whisking all the time and transfer back to the pan.

Step 5: Heat and transfer
Place the pan back onto a medium heat and while continuously stirring, gently allow it to thicken, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Once thickened pour it back into the large bowl and set aside to cool down.

Step 6: Combine vanilla and cream
Place both vanilla pods onto the chopping board and slice one lengthways. Split the pod open, scrape out the pulp onto the tip of your knife and transfer it to the bowl of cream.
Repeat exactly the same process with the other pod.
Next pour the cream and pulp into a large bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 7: Make the ice cream
Pour the mix into the ice cream maker and switch on the machine. Churn for roughly 20 minutes

Step 8: Freeze
After churning transfer the ice cream into some Tupperware. Place it the freezer until it sets.

Step 9: Serve
Scoop some ice-cream into a serving bowl, garnish with a hint of greenery and serve.

The Easter Calendar

Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday. In French it is called Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. Traditionally, people ate a lot of rich and fatty food before they started the Lenten fast. Nowadays, people make pancakes – probably they only time they eat pancakes – so, sometimes this day is also called Pancake Day.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent. Christians go to church. The priest puts ashes on the foreheads of the people in the shape of a cross. Nowadays people usually give up something for the 40 days of Lent, for example smoking or sweets or chocolate. Lent is a time of fasting and repentance. The 40 days remember the time when Jesus went into the desert to fast and he was tempted by the devil to give up.

Palm Sunday

This is the Sunday before Easter when Jesus entered Jerusalem. Jesus rode into the city on a donkey and people laid palm leaves in his path.

Holy Thursday

This is the day of the Last Supper when Jesus had his last meal with his disciples. They ate bread and wine which Christians still celebrate in the mass. The wine symbolises the blood of Christ and the bread the body of Christ. At the last supper there were 12 apostles and Jesus. Another tradition is the washing of feet, as Jesus washed the feet of the apostles to show respect and humility. Nowadays, on Holy Thursday this act is often recreated by the priest, washing the feet of his parishioners. On this night Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. Judas kissed him and this was the sign for the Romans to arrest Jesus.

Good Friday

Good Friday is the day Jesus died on the cross for our sins. This remembers the sacrifice of Jesus to save humanity from sin. Pontius Pilate had to condemn Jesus to death, even though he wanted to free him, but a criminal called Barabbas was freed instead. Catholics remember the death of Jesus in the Stations of the Cross. These are 14 pictures which start with Jesus’s arrest, and then each picture represents an important event on Good Friday right up until the time Jesus is laid in the tomb. Catholics do not eat meat on Friday in respect of this sacrifice. Jesus was crucified with 2 thieves on either side of him. One was a good thief the other was a bad thief, the good thief went to heaven with Jesus. When Jesus died he was buried in a tomb.

The idiom to wash one’s hands of something comes from Pontius Pilate when he washed his hands he condemned Jesus to death. Pilate got rid of the problem even though he knew he was wrong to do so.

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is the day Jesus rose from the dead. It is the end of Easter and people go to mass. Christians also have special Easter dinner celebrations. People also give each other Easter eggs.

Easter Monday

Easter Monday is a holiday in the United Kingdom. It is one of the busiest bank holidays in the country, as many people go away for the weekend. There are many sporting events on this day, for example football and horse racing.

Ascension Day

This celebrates the day when Jesus ascended into heaven. It happens 40 days after Easter.
