I often wonder what the people are seeing when they report a BVM. A lot of them seem to be young children or women so there is some kind of profiling to be done. Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking or plain old hysteria. It can’t be real can it?

  Is anything real John. My granddaughter (6) keeps asking me if we are in a dream.

Growing up Catholic I can assure you I am avoiding the sign post to confessions. Likely counselling is a better direction for me. 🙂
Can I ask about the hat and buns photo?

  Not entirely certain Sue. Kim said she thought someone had just left their hat and lunch while they prayed but I like to think it was symbolic of the loaves and the fishes. The jury is out on that one!
