Those kinds of niches usually house Virgin Mary shrines, which are extremely common in Catholic countries and would 100% be present in a convent. The nuns would stop for a prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary while in the garden and leave fresh flowers for her. Sometimes you see devotional candles and other trinkets as well being left at the feet of the statue :) Shouldn't be hard to find a statue of the Virgin Mary in France if you ever want to recreate the shrine

Happy Birthday, Gwendolyn! All of those paths in the garden were undoubtedly used for prayer and walking. There may have been a bench by the grotto especially if this convent was dedicated to the retired Sisters. A lovely find! By the by, Billy it’s Stations of the “Cross,” not plural. Just the one cross. 😊 I love your eye for detail and respect for architectural integrity. It makes your channel so enjoyable! Looking forward to seeing your work on the kitchen. Cheers!

I was going to say somthing similar but in 'open to work on the garden days' where people in the village volunteered to do some work. I would imagine there would be a large group from the village who are just 'itching' to get in there and help. In England they have 'friends of the estates' who are a group of local regulars who come in to do jobs. That could even be a task outsourced to the local council to organise. I am sure they would have an invested interest in having progress for the convent grounds.

I'm impressed, no painters tape. LOL Great job! My Mother was in a Catholic orphanage ran by nuns. The girls there made a grotto when she was little. We would go back for reunions every 5 years. It was still there, and we would walk out to it and it had a Virgin Mary in it. My Mom passed away at 94, and she did it when she was 7. I hope you can make it beautiful again and add something to the center. Amazing find.

Yes, I agree with others it would have been a Virgin Mary shrine most likely our Lady of Lourdes because of the history of the convent and its purpose as a hospital because of course our Lady of Lourdes deals with healing the sick. It would be quite easy to find an appropriate statue of her to replace the one that was there. Also, all Catholic convents would have a statue of Mary because she is so important to us. In particular, the grotto would've been used for private prayer or a place for the nuns to pray the rosary. Also yes you will find 14 images on the wall because the devotion is called either way of the cross or stations of the cross. Both names can be used interchangeably sometimes we simply shorten it to stations. It is a very important daily devotion, especially to nuns or sisters in religious communities. I am a member of a Catholic religious order myself so that's how I know all of this.

For better cutting in the paint at the edges you should use what's called a thin angle sash brush here in the USA. It's like an ordinary paint brush but is cut at an angle. You can ease the brush in at an angle to get closer to the line you want it to reach.

You could use the gardens as a revenue source once they are done. Adding flowers, antique statues, fountains, benches. Creating a meditation and reflection gardens and even a cut flower garden where people can cut there own flowers to make there own flower bouquets. And plant and sell fresh vegetables.

Hey dude, you can get a wall mount monitor arm. Remove the base and stand of your monitor, it usually unclips from the back of the screen and you should see a VESA mount behind. All the cables will run in the arm so you might need longer cables. You can get a monitor arm for around £30 or less on internet retailers. I did the same for a monitor next to my comms rack. It can be moved in and out and positioned where you want. Saves space and looks nice and clean.

Morning Billy, I have been watching the Dailies and they are so nice. Short and sweet. This one in particular is a bit more special, opening up the Grotto in the garden, it looks special. It will be lovely when the area is cleared and maybe the planters can be filled with practical plants that will display a beautiful show. Trees are absolutely lovely, but understandable the overgrowth is just a bit too much. The office is looking beautiful, it has character all of it's own and the matching kitchen will be awesome. It is all coming together wonderfully. Enjoy more clearing for the garden fellows. Happy birthday Gwendolyn, hope your birthday was a real treat with the family. Many more. Go well, kind regards. P.s. I was thinking afterwards, how about when the Grotto is cleared to place some sort of light inside or garden lights if somebody wishes to visit in the evening to meditate, just saying.

Happy birthday Gwen and sending you lots of love from BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA. Billy, I agree you are a pleasure to watch and I make sure I catch up with what you are doing every day. The office does look tres chic and if I could get my hands on that garden - Oh lordy! I am a horticulturist and landscape designer by trade (retired from that profession but wish I hadn't) so I can see the possibilities in there. The conundrum with such a large "garden" rather than a "park landscape" (which is what I would consider the Chateau) is how to break it into "rooms" and what purpose do those rooms serve. As there is only access through the convent you are limited. I shall put my thinking cap on. What I can suggest is contacting a local Horticultural College to discuss working with them. They will have students that will love to get involved - possibly create some projects for you or to plant out some fruit trees or restore what is there? Free labour and free practical hands on training for them. They would provide the teachers and tools to do the work. Maybe bring some students as interns so they can get credits on their course. It is a great way of contributing to your community, reaching out to the community, involving the community. I have been thinking about the uses for the Convent .I'm thinking Hotel. Knock out walls between those small cells to create bigger rooms, create a suite of rooms at the end of the corridor. Maybe a culinary school - that way there would be accommodation as well in the rooms above. IDK - you have a lot of space. TBH: I think the management of these business would be a pain in the butt so most likely I would develop the convent into residential apartments and sell them off. That way you will generate a very large return on your investment and efforts and allow yourself to move onto another project. One thought is to obtain your own real estate licence (Mo and Sadie???) to sell off the apartments rather than handing that job over to an outsider....you know...keep the money in the family. xxx
