I am so pleased to see that the whole phemonenon of the moving statues has come back into vogue in Ireland again.
About time too.
I was begining to fear that it had gone completely.

When we bought our old presbytery in Languedoc one of the things which came with the house was a life sized statue of Our Lady of Lourdes which stands in the courtyard under the terrace.
She is a lovely and serene lady and we have never had any intention of letting her go.

It was my friend Siobhan who suggested that if we could get her to move a little maybe it would be good for business when we opened up the chambre d’hote.
She pointed out that Knock hadn’t done too badly out of a similar occurance.

So with impeccible timing, just about six months before we start looking for customers we have discovered that we may be sitting on (or just over on the terrace) a gold mine.

Now all we have to do is persuade her to move just a little.
