Thank you for sharing such a lovely trip. It was nice to see your neighbor cat come to welcome you home. Losing a fur baby is so difficult, give yourself as much time as you need. God bless and keep you.
I visited Ireland for work in 2003- we did a drive from Dublin to Belfast as we were were working in various hospitals doing research into cardiac illness in babies. I loved Ireland and was so warmly welcomed, this brought back some happy memories. I recall it rained a lot lol
Belfast was beautiful thank you for taking us along. Love a good Tim Hortons. My brother just send a tub of French vanilla cappuccino home with my parents following their recent visit. Apple tarts looked delicious I would have pouring cream first choice, ice cream second, custard 3rd. Have a good week, much love ❤❤
THANK YOU FOR SHARING I LEFT BELFAST 57 YRS AGO TO MOVE TO LAS VEGAS NEVADA AND I MISS IT SOO MUCH I AM SOO HOME SICK ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS LIVE THERE I MISS ALL OF THEM VERY MUCH.. I LOVE YOUR OTHER VIDEOS YOU ARE SO SMART .😃🥰🤩❤
as a Belfast girl myself I'm so glad you enjoyed your weekend I've not even been to the market yet myself lol, I was lucky enough to have a small speaking roll in Line of Duty,amongst lots of other tv and film rolls,Belfast is huge now for location xo
I am so far behind!! Things are hectic!!! But glad I was able to stop ad start catching up. I really enjoyed Belfast, and the Titanic museum, I want to visit it myself. Merry Christmas lovely.
The Marketplace looked so lovely! I enjoy seeing the decorations! How cool it is to see your book at that shop! You are a real celebrity! 😁 It threw me a bit to see a kitty in your window! So hello to Toffy! 🐱Hope your doing alright Catherine....
Thanks for the outing. Enjoyed all the footage at the Christmas Market, Titanic Museum and around the town. Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator the night before then place on counter 30 min while you make filling. Mince a few slices of apples for a base to lay your pretty sliced apples. Allow your apples, sugar and syrup to macerate in mixing bowl a little while. After you place apples on pastry brush a little milk or cream on edges to give it that golden brown crust. You may want to cook at a higher temperature for a good puff. Also lightly score edges of pastry with a knife before you add cream and it should raise higher. Ice cream for sure.
I lived in Germany 🇩🇪 for 2 years when I was in the Air Force and I remember the Christmas markets well. This was reminiscent of that. Thank you for sharing Catherine 😊
Wow were I live. Love Belfast. Dublin has its charm though. I did enjoy my stay down there, especially the museums and churches. Couldn't handle the busyness of O'connel Street though
The Belfast Christmas Market looked lovely and a great idea for a festive boost and a little holiday. The Christmas Markets in Ireland and the UK seem to be on another level. It was funny but, awesome, seeing you drinking Tim Hortons in Belfast! Woohoo! 🇨🇦
Hi Dainty I live in Lisburn 9 Miles from Belfast would have died if I had seen you in the big smoke (Belfast) love your video I’m a big gardener too 😮😊😂 xx
This was a very cozy festive vlog. Thank you for taking us to Belfast to see the shops and lights. Loved seeing your kitty neighbor and I think I can smell the apples and cinnamon. Yum. You look wonderful. Stay warm.
Look at you with your Timmies coffee! Canadian indeed. I live in a town of 8000 and there are four Tim's in town. I have one almost everyday. I'm glad you got out for a little wander. Good for the soul. Hugs from NS.
Even TV chefs use ready made puff pastry, life’s too short to make it from scratch, so I’m with you on that one. Inspired to try a bit of home baking myself now ❤
Mmm that apple tart looked so good now I need one. Glad you got out for some shopping and moment away, home is nice but when there are recently departed family members home can be sad. I am slow with my shopping too this year but I am not stressing over it and technically the 12 days of Christmas has not even started so you are just fine ;)
Thank you for taking me along with you I really enjoyed it I enjoyed your cooking video I look forward to seeing you every week Hello from North Carolina Have a great week.
I did the titanic tour when I was in Belfast a few years ago. They were doing guided tours which were extremely informative and enjoyable but that was summer time
Hi Catherine hope you're OK my love after losing blondie, my parents from cork, sis lives kerry, belfast on my list as huge titanic fan, saw cobh museum a few yrs back x
Canadian here. How fun that you found a Tim Hortons! It was wonderful to see snippets of Belfast, and that Titanic Museum looked very interesting, that is something I would love to visit. Very fun video, thank you.
Thank you for your video. It makes me want to go to Belfast. I’ve been watching you for a couple years and I’m so sad to hear about Blondie. Our fur babies leave such a big hole in our heart when they pass. Sending you lots of positive vibes, virtual hugs and very Merry Christmas.
I did love Belfast, but cried through most of the Titanic museum. Especially the voice recordings. Oh and must see is the Dark Hedges! Congratulations on your book! I have it and it’s so lovely!!
Really enjoyed this vlog Catherine. I was in Belfast a few years ago and went to the Titanic experience which I really enjoyed. I loved seeing the Christmas markets, thanks, hope you got some presents there.
Thanks for taking us to Belfast.🌍 The Christmas market looked fun.✨ I am not a baker either so I appreciated the tip of leaving the puff pastry out to come to room temp. before using.🍎 I have yet to finish my shopping. Learned today we might be having guests for Christmas. I think need to get busy⏳
I loved this vlog! How lovely a trip. I would've waited until dark also, there's something about twinkie lights at night that give me joy. The Titanic museum looked wonderful. We have one 2 hours away from were I live in Missouri, US. When you get your ticket to go in, it has a name and all their details of an actual person who was on the Titanic . As you go through the museum you may find hints about your person and at the end you find out if they survived or not. It made it more emotional/bittersweet. An appearance by Toffee is always welcome: ). Here's to Christmas market trips, friends, apple tarts (plain or with ice cream is how I roll lol ), and hot tea on a dreary winter day.
Look up Hasselback Apples. Super easy to make you just need oats, butter and spices and you still get the yummy baked pie feeling. Perfect with a scoop of ice cream. I loved the trip. Belfast is on my dream trip. After Dublin of course.
I’m glad u gave yourself a nice little distraction trip. It was beautiful for us to see u out and about. Lots of love always😘💕 Here in the US we call it “à la mode” (not sure if it’s used elsewhere) n that means w a scoop of vanilla ice cream (definitely not literally). I have ALL my desserts à la mode. Lol
To see your book on a shelf in a shop wow! I think that's a brilliant achievement! 👍
Oh thank you! it still feels surreal x
I LOVE THE VIDEO OF BELFAST I HAVE WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 🥰😍🤩❤
Thank you for sharing such a lovely trip. It was nice to see your neighbor cat come to welcome you home. Losing a fur baby is so difficult, give yourself as much time as you need. God bless and keep you.
Omg i didnt know blondi was gone 😢
Thanks for taking us along on your Belfast trip. It was enjoyable. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it ❤ thanks for watching 😊
What a thrill it must be to find your book in the shops. 🙂
I still get a pinch me moment when I see one in a shop x
I visited Ireland for work in 2003- we did a drive from Dublin to Belfast as we were were working in various hospitals doing research into cardiac illness in babies. I loved Ireland and was so warmly welcomed, this brought back some happy memories. I recall it rained a lot lol
Yes, rain and great days happen often lol, I am so happy to hear you had fun the you visited x
I need to go to Ireland how proud you must be to see your book on the shelf’s xx
Awww, its still so surreal x
@@sweetdweams Absolutely, I asked the girl in the shop for a sharpie, I also keep one in my bag, just in case x
Tim Horton's AND Canadian Maple Syrup!? 🍁 You make this Canadian girl proud. 🇨🇦
I hope you're having a fabulous week. 🙏💛
I love with vanilla ice and coffee ☕️ on the side . They look delicious
Lovely visit to Belfast markets by proxy. Such a contrast to Australian summer Christmas
Catherine I always love to go to Belfast 🙏🇮🇪👍🐱
I’m so glad Toffee checks on you.
Vanilla ice cream for sure!💙
I love your checker dress very pretty and looks confortable I love those kind of dresses 👍

Wow were I live. Love Belfast. Dublin has its charm though. I did enjoy my stay down there, especially the museums and churches. Couldn't handle the busyness of O'connel Street though
Be happy Cathrine ❤
Same here. 1st ice cream - it must be vanilla! 2nd is cream. And once in a while both.
Oh the window boxes and the flower mart!
Catherine, love your channel you put a smile on my face every time.
Aw, so happy to hear that x

I love those little things that the heat from candles cause to spin. They are Christmas magic. Lol
Aren't they, I have seen them as christmas markets but I must actually buy one x
Even TV chefs use ready made puff pastry, life’s too short to make it from scratch, so I’m with you on that one. Inspired to try a bit of home baking myself now ❤

Hi Catherine
It’s a great trip from Dublin to Belfast
I have done it a few times 🙋♀️
I am watching Titanic right now. So this video is definitely fitting to start off my new year haha. Love you Catherine!!!
Thanks for taking us to Belfast.🌍 The Christmas market looked fun.✨
I am not a baker either so I appreciated the tip of leaving the puff pastry out to come to room temp. before using.🍎
I have yet to finish my shopping. Learned today we might be having guests for Christmas. I think need to get busy⏳
I always stay at Jurys in Belfast
Thanks for the info on the City and shopping tips. We are headed over in the Spring. So excited! I’ll be looking for your book while I’m there!
that recipe looked very yummy, where is the link to it please ?
I loved this vlog! How lovely a trip. I would've waited until dark also, there's something about twinkie lights at night that give me joy. The Titanic museum looked wonderful.

Aww…lovely to see my city. It is sooo busy at the minute, full of Christmas buzz. I was in town shopping on Friday. Wish I had seen you.
Thank you for taking me along on your travel’s .. Merry Christmas:
Same to you, Happy Christmas x
Look up Hasselback Apples. Super easy to make you just need oats, butter and spices and you still get the yummy baked pie feeling. Perfect with a scoop of ice cream.

Here in the US we call it “à la mode” (not sure if it’s used elsewhere) n that means w a scoop of vanilla ice cream (definitely not literally). I have ALL my desserts à la mode. Lol
Ice cream is must and yes sugar causes caramelizing. Toffee is so cute. Nice fleece legging. Lovely tour, thanks. Merry Christmas.
You make everything look amazing!!!
