Well it’s been another obscenely<\/em> exciting week in Dock \u00a0World – and the great thing is, the best is yet to come! \u00a0I know I keep being all secretive and mysterious at the minute, but all will be revealed soon…<\/p>\n

Meanwhile (hmm, what a great word) here are a few images of things Dock-related \u00a0to feast your eyes upon. \u00a0First up, a few pics of some of the exciting development work going on at the minute, as more and more of the visionary TQ masterplan becomes reality. \u00a0On the left is the rapidly-emerging ‘Concourse 2’, the latest addition to the Science Park; in the middle is part of the new gate being fitted to allow access to the breathtaking Thompson Dock (see the New Year video<\/a> for the full story); on the right you can see how fast the new building at the Paint Hall Movie Studios is progressing:<\/p>\n

And now some Dock life in action: a few pics from another gorgeous Dock Walk on a brisk, sunset-flecked winter’s day last Sunday. \u00a0We walked, talked, laughed, met some brill new people, and as always (and I really do mean that – every week<\/em> I learn something new) had a great chat about the Bible readings from Wordlive. \u00a0(And a little reminder: check out the Wordlive website\/podcasts<\/a> and get engaged – I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough…)<\/p>\n

And a few Dock-world faces: I had another great filming session with Patricia (the Dock Doc<\/a>) and the team during the week; I went to a ‘Community Resilience Forum’ for everyone working in the harbour area with Tegan (you’ll be hearing more from her…) and I got to spend a great morning with some of the other ‘Titanic Ambassadors’, being trained to spread the Word of Titanic!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was a big day for Titanic Walking Tours as well, as your tour of TQ guided by Colin and his team of Titanoraks can now take place on foot (tours are about to start to ramp up to every day again – keep checking the website<\/a> for details) or on board this utterly fab bus – the Titanic Explorer (also due to start operating in early Feb). \u00a0Doesn’t it really feel as if Belfast is becoming truly ready for the Titanic centenary – what a brilliant range of options lie ahead of all the lucky tourists and visitors in the months that lie ahead…<\/p>\n

And speaking of which, I’ll leave you with another new video from the tourist board, which in a slightly cheesy but really uplifting way makes you realise just how incredibly much we have to offer to visitors from all over the world… It’s our year, people!<\/p>\n
