Oh my word! \u00a0I thought that the day we signed the Meanwhile Lease was the most exciting day in the history of Dock EVER – but the day I’ve just had beats it to a pulp!<\/p>\n

This was the day the signs went up:<\/p>\n

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

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

This was the day the artwork (from the Yard Gallery in Holywood) went on the walls:<\/p>\n

This was the day the electricity got connected and the lights went on:<\/p>\n
