painting the house

I'm pretty much convinced that the house will look a lot better if it's painted a kind of Italian ochre, withe mid-green paint work: I'd like it to look warmer, and less Imposing - if something can indeed look imposing, when it's currently the shade of old lady baggy underwear.   The trumpet tree, meanwhile, albeit looking a little droopy here, has hugely enjoyed its move (in other words, today was largely spent in unpacking and tidying and gardening, and trying to pretend that spring break wasn't galloping to a close).
