As reported last week in the Belfast Telegraph (!), The Dock is expanding… not just to make room for my ego, but for a beautiful collection of quirky, unique bits and bobs we’ve been putting together over the last few months.<\/p>\n

If you call in this week, you’ll see plenty of signs like this:
\n\"IMG_4496\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And you might see some activity like this:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4483\"<\/a>\"IMG_4485\"<\/a>\"IMG_4489\"<\/a>\"IMG_4486\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll see that the Dock team have been hard at work during those little snippets of time that the cafe is closed – moving entire walls (they can move mountains, Dock volunteers!), building, cleaning, painting, mopping, dismantling, re-assembling, making this big old barn feel more and more like home…<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4481\"<\/a>\"IMG_4492\"<\/a>\"IMG_4488\"<\/a>\"IMG_4491\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The new extended area has (oh yes!) a theme<\/em> – can you tell what it is yet?<\/p>\n

\"photo-5\"<\/a>\"IMG_4497\"<\/a>\"IMG_4493\"<\/a>\"photo-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the pride and joy of it all – this glorious, slightly battered, utterly unique and gorgeous old model of the shipyards, created in the 1980s as an architect’s plan for the then-new Laganbank development – and standing today as a living example of just how much Belfast has changed in the last three decades.<\/p>\n

It’ll all be finished and on display soon – promise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
