Emma and her new job

[emma T]

It's not going to sell looking like it does at the moment

[Lesley Cox]

Not a speck of dust in sight Maggi!

I didn't see one either Mike, and I was there for a week!

Magnolia walls are only to be tolerated IF they are to be covered up, by the great artifacts and pictures seen in Maggi's pictures and same here, though perhaps not on such a scale. Agents push painting in Magnolia because it totally eliminates or obliterates any sign of character or interest of the previous occupiers. I love magnolias but hate magnolia paint.

[Mavers]

I intended to do a quick flit around with the duster last night Lesley but by the time I got home from work it was dark & the dust didn't seem to bad.......honest  

[MR GRUMPY]

If you found a snowdrop that colour (Magnolia),you would dancing like a nutter .
Hows that for inspiring?.......There's always upside to everthing.It just takes more time to find it sometimes.. ........

[Lesley Cox]

I used to live in what had been a tea house with just black painted boards as the ceiling, rather rough. It was covered with not too visible cobwebs and since I couldn't reach them, I looked upon them as insulation and so they were OK.

Mr Grumpy, if you FIND a magnolia paint-coloured snowdrop, let me know. I'll be thrilled about it too but I think the wait may be a long one.

[emma T]

Anyone know if snowdrops grow on St Michael's Mount in Cornwall ? They are looking for a head gardener 

[Maggi Young]

Can't see why 'drops wouldn't grow there ....... wouldn't take you too long to get 'em started!

[emma T]

Didn't know if the salt from the sea would harm them or not. Not moving all that way and then lose them all !

[Maggi Young]

ah! I see, I'm being unusually dim today - of course, there will be a lot of sea spray - too stupid today to think of that.  I could  take them here for you, of course

Wonderful place to work if you have a head for heights!

[emma T]

Mmmm I don't have a head for heights !

[Alan_b]

That's probably the first question they ask on the job interview!

[johnw]

I don't think salt spray is a problem for them in these parts.   Road salt splatter is a different matter for most plants here.

Devon is bit like living close to the end of the known World and Cornwall is the end of the known World so if you fancy becoming a hermitess Emma give it a go

[emma T]

Mmm I know I'm an introvert , but not sure I am ready for the hermatige . I bet it would be a bugger getting to my dog shows , not even sure if they let dogs on the island
