The Nationwide programme was aired on Monday evening and the whole community was tuned in to see Holycross on screen. The entire village looked great, we're looking at it all with new eyes since. Our slot was quite short, but we think the place looked pretty good and it really was fantastic advertising. We've had a good few enquiries and a few definite bookings on the strength of it so it's all good. Our girls made an appearance in the bit on the school so there was great excitement here, half of the family on tv in one go! Once that was over we could concentrate on getting the combat poverty piece of sculpture finished and in place. The candle was burned at both ends doing this, but it finally got finished and with the help of extended family and a few neighbours it was transported, with the greatest of care, to it's final resting place in Liberty Square, Thurles. This happened in the (very) small hours of Friday morning. The piece was unveiled this afternoon, a beautiful autumn day, and looked great with the polished granite glistening in the sunlight. There was a good turnout, plenty of photos taken, so we'll have to get some of our more computer literate friends to upload a photo. Just time for a quick sigh of relief to have that done, and then it's full steam ahead on the exhibition pieces...
