Chic, cosy, contemporary and as ecologically green as the rolling hills it is set amidst, we've found a fabulous bolt-hole and holiday home in the newly-opened 4-star Drumlin Lane holiday cottages in Hillsborough.

The landscape that these two new self-catering holiday homes is set in is stunning - it's hard to believe that just a 30 minute drive from the centre of Belfast lie the green fields of surrounding Hillsborough. There are amazing views from the upstairs bedrooms even taking in the Mourne Mountains.

Knitwear designer Sinéad Crilly learnt her love of the craft at her granny's knee.

"My granny, Olive, was big into sewing and knitting and she still is," says Sinéad. She taught me, and when I was age six or seven I used to hand-knit small things like table centres and scarves for dolls. It paid off because when I went to university I could understand it all, I knew what every needle was for, even though the knitting was done on a machine."

After leaving school Sinéad went straight to study fashion design at the Belfast UU campus, foregoing a Foundation Year course. "I did all aspects of art A Level but the course didn't touch on fashion, so I wanted to go straight into it." she explains. "I loved the technical side of the course, making your own fabric rather than moulding it into a shape." So when it came to specialise, it was a no-brainer for Sinéad to focus on knitwear.

Woohoo - Northern Ireland's second city has been voted "one of the best cities to visit in 2013" by travel guide Lonely Planet. That's one of the best cities - in the world.

Lonely Planet has released its Top 10 list of global hot spots and Derry/Londonderry is in its Best in Travel list at No 4, ahead of Beijing in China; Christchurch, New Zealand and Montreal in Canada and just losing out to San Francisco, Amsterdam and the Indian city of Hyderabad.

Jenny Curran, freelance writer and part time model, has been given £1000 by Action Cancer.  The only catch is that they have challenged her to make it into £7000.

A girl after our own hearts - she decided to appeal to the sweet toothed and bake her way to that lucky number 7. The 25 year old came up with the idea of a pop up bakery-come coffee shop and after much deliberation about the name and a facebook poll of her pals – Jenny's Baps was born!

You've probably seen her name adorning the credits for our fashion and Style Spotter galleries, and now you can book the talented Kelly McAllister for your wedding.

Kelly is Sugahfix's main photography gal and she's breaking out into bridal and wedding photography, with three shoots to her name and three more booked for next year.

It's summer time and if you haven't got a holiday booked you might be getting itchy feet. Glasgow is by no means the Mediterranean but with daily flights from Belfast, and loads of interesting things to do and see once you're there, it will definitely scratch that itch if you're just looking to escape from home for a few days. 2012 is the Year of Creative Scotland so it's the perfect time to visit.
