## Resource

Lost reading glasses in Kilkenny’s cathedral? Found them three days later—on a pew. That serendipity sparked a local adventure that led to stumbling upon fragments of Nelson’s Pillar, now artfully arranged in a garden circle, honoring Ireland’s naval heroes. These stones, rescued by Damian Harrington and Rudolf Heltzel, became a beloved feature of the Butler House grounds—completed on time and budget. It’s a charming contrast to Dublin’s 1966 demolition of Nelson’s Pillar, famously reported by Des Twomey before dawn, which many say stripped the city of its historic soul. Kilkenny? Still standing tall, preserving its timeless charm. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
