We caught up with some of our wonderful clients yesterday - and I managed to get one photo (with Conor Sanchez) the whole day! Too busy catching up on all the fabulous things that have happened this year.

We stopped in at The Lyric and saw James Martin’s portrait up close. It’s stunning!

We then went to see ‘Belfast, Actually’ at The Theatre At The Mill and it was BRILLIANT!

Very funny, festive, entertaining and well worth a visit.

The cast are having the best time, so we end up having the best time!

Amazing singing, laugh out loud moments and pure Northern Irish humour!

If you can get a ticket you should! 🎄
