I took this class to Belfast this weekend. The classes took place at Hannahstown Parish Community Hall...the perfect location as far as I'm concerned. Only a 10 minute drive from the city centre and set upon a hill. A lovely quiet area and ideal for concentrating students! We started with a Bride and Groom class for the first two days and finished off with my little "chippie" guy. I have had an amazing time and have loved taking in so much of Belfast in so little time. I can't thank the students who signed up enough for making the classes possible. Also, the Keef Hall B&B who were so generous and kind to me during my stay. If you are planning a trip to Belfast, this B&B is just 20 minutes drive off the ferry and a further 20 minutes into town. Perfect! I will be returning next year for sure and will have the classes online as soon as I get home and decide what is going to be on offer. It's safe to say a Bride and Groom workshop will take care of the first two days but for the one day...well...I'm thinking I'll get working on that very soon and see what happens. THANK YOU to the caretakers at Hannahstown Community Centre for your support and assistance and THANK YOU to the lovely folks at Keef Halla....I'll be singing your praises for a long, long time. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to Seana McKeegan for all your hard work in making these classes happen and also for being the head tea/coffee lady on all of the class days...AND for being my tour guide and making me laugh! I appreciate it so, so much. See you next year Belfast. You've been a joy to visit!

Doon wi' New Year Resolutions!
It's a brand new year...and we always start it off resolving to be better people and take better care of ourselves. All the smokers resolve to quit and the diet clubs make an initial fortune as half the population signs up, resolving to shift the pounds once and for all. Then next week comes and the air is twice as polluted with smoke and even more doughnuts have shifted off the bakers shelves! Lol! Why do we do it? Make resolutions I mean? I resolved this year to stop smoking and not to drink so much tea. This is the easiest resolution I've ever made and the ONLY one I'm ever likely to be able to keep since I neither smoke nor drink tea, I cheated! Well...where is it written that a resolution has to be something that you already do? One resolution I DO know that I will be able to keep wholeheartedly....I resolve to give you the most entertaining workshops this year. Kicking off in Nigeria next week and then Nottingham and Belfast in February. Seattle classes in March are now open for registration too. Just go to Extra Icing website and see CLASSES on the Menu for those available in the UK. Overseas classes can be found in Calendar of Events. Wherever you are....and wherever we meet....I look forward to seeing you! Happy New Year everyone!
