    One evening I was working in the school garden. A tramp passing by remarked. "Good even Master" "Good even" said I.
    "It is nice to be over the clay" said he.
    "Anyhow" he continued, "you can do a lot more over the clay that you could do under it.

    Dysertheigh near Holycross - 4 miles from Camross was a place where St Angus (Céile Dé) used to receive visits from Angels.
    He found the place too noisy and hence could not pray and left it.
