Jabba and Norbert roof toppers

Jabba and Norbert the dragons are here! The old medieval tradition was that if you left an inverted V on a roof untopped, the devil would sit astride it to rest and curse the house and community for all his woes. So all V shapes in a roof must be topped and the dragons keep the devil away.

I like these old traditions, so we now have two dragon toppers who will keep the devil at bay

Meet Jabba and Norbert :

They are gorgeous

Are they reclaimed? No, they're brand harry spankers. Each one handcrafted and made to look old.

Well I'd quite welcome Satan if he wanted to sit on my roof: he might put people off walking past at 05:30 and setting the dogs off...

BUT I like those little fellas A LOT!
