Belfast Metropolitan College awarded its first ever Honorary Fellowship Award to Holywood man and spinal injury pioneer, Mark Pollock, during its annual higher education Graduation ceremony. The former South Pole adventurer, received the prestigious award in recognition of his outstand-ing personal achievements. Mark was awarded the College’s highest accolade it can bestow during the first of three ceremonies which celebrated the achievements of over 1,000 students. The inspira-tional role model shared his story of facing chal-
lenges in his personal and professional life with young and mature learners at Belfast Met’s Graduation ceremony on Wednesday 13 November. Mark Pollock, Belfast Metropolitan College Honorary Fellow, said: “I am honoured to receive this significant award from Belfast Metropolitan College. I have faced many challenges in my personal and professional life and I am pleased that I can share my experience to help others navigate through crossroads, obstacles or turning points in their lives. As these graduates further their education, careers and personal journeys, I hope each of them will take some inspiration from my story and rise to the challenges they may be faced with in future.” Visit www.belfastmet.ac.uk for more details or follow @bfastmet on twitter.

It has been a fantastic year at Deborah Harper Makeup and Beauty. This is our 2nd Christmas in the salon in Helen’s Bay and if you haven’t already popped in - please do! Every Thursday night in December we have mulled wine, mince pies and fab gifts for you to browse and of course gift vouchers that such a lovely way to show you care. There are plenty of things to get excited about and here are our FIVE FESTIVE FAVES!
FIVE FESTIVE FAVES
As soon as we hit the winter season I am always ready to embrace the dark, rich berry red lips, lots of mascara and perfectly defined brows! Check out this gorgeous Senna lipstick in Garnet! Beautiful.
2. Berry Lipstick
1. Cosy ClothesI actually love the dark nights and getting wrapped up in jumpers, coats, scarves and hitting the town center to get a coffee with friends and do a little shopping!
Strictly Come Dancing is back on our screens and we are going mad for all the fab glitter eyeshadows and accessories! I love BarryM and Urban Decay for a great se-lection, just apply a little sparkle over your everyday eyeshadow and I am in no doubt you will feel that little bit extra special for your Christmas do, family dinner or girls night out!
4. Sparkle!
I was so impressed with Lady Sylvia Hermon who said even with all her work and travelling to London she does her shopping in her constituency of North Down. It has really inspired me to shop local and support so many of the beautiful shops on my doorstep!
3. Keep it Local
I have discovered a range of nail polishes that not only do I love so much we have brought them into the salon but I can honestly say I have never used a polish with such beautiful colours and sparkle! I am loving ‘Fit for a Queen’.
5. Pretty Nails!

We had the pleasure of meeting Kam who is an incredibly
enthusiastic and passionate man who was keen to do something
a little bit different. We are certainly not short on choice when
it comes to Asian and Chinese restaurants here in Northern
Ireland, so for Kam, when he planned The Asian Legend, it had to
be special. And Kam has exceeded his goal. Inside, the redesign
has a deluxe and stunning warmth with authentic touches and
an impeccable attention to detail. Plus, those views out across
the lough have to be seen to be believed. The menu features a
diverse line up spanning Chinese, Asian, Thai Korean and Japanese.
Business is steadily building up for Kam and his team with a
growing list of regulars coming back for more which is credit
to the staff both in the kitchen and front of house.The duck is
proving to be very popular and is becoming a house favourite.
We had the delight of tasting just a few of the dishes on offer.
To start, we had the freshly cooked crispy aromatic duck which
was a beautifully moist and perfectly cooked. The sauce was a
sensation! We also had the salted & chilli chicken, a classic, which
was again cooked perfectly and had all of us reaching for more.
Then followed Chicken Curry and boiled rice and Beef Pad Thai,
both of which were extremely popular and tasted so fresh and
were evidently passionately put together. Of course you can also
enjoy in comfort of own home with the take away service and
the restaurant is available to book for private parties/functions
and will have a karaoke machine very soon for such events. At
the moment there is a fantasic evening offer - 2 courses for £9.50
served from Sunday to Thursday. Kids meals also available. Thank
you to Kam and his team for inviting us and we look forward to
another Legendary meal very soon.
You may have noticed a lot of work going on at the former site of The Water Margin. Extensive refurbishment work has been undertaken by new owner Kam and the result; The Asian Legend. A brand new Chinese and Asian restaurant with a wonderful menu and a simply sumptuous interior with stunning coastal views.
