350k Euro budget, including buying the church, so about 210k STG. given that it is only their holiday home, that is quite a bit...

I liked it.. Kitchen a bit small but for "a holiday home" I think I could put up with this! I had more admiration for the people in last week's show.. Anyone see that? They did such a lot of the work themselves and were no spring chickens either.

PMSL @ Porrick!!! Padraig is a great Irish name: From the Latin patricius "nobly born." The patron saint of Ireland, it is hard to differentiate between fact and myth. What is probably true is that he was born in Britain around 373 AD and was brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of seven, possibly by Niall of the Nine Hostages (read the legend). Forced to guard sheep on the Slemish Mountains in Country Antrim for six years he had a vision urging him to convert his captors. He escaped to France where he trained as a priest before returning to Ireland where he banished the snakes (i.e. paganism) and converted the population to Christianity.
Both Patrick and Padraig are very popular names in Ireland.

It was amazing, but I would have gone for a big space with a full on banqueting area / fireplace / big table / dogs and sawdust etc....
