1261 - MAUVE

The Reverend's wife sAw hEr opportunity when the Reverend was scheduled to be away on a four-day conference. She'd been fed up of the dreary looking manse for years and had secretively arranged for the decorators to move in and transform it inside and out. When the Reverend returned he stopped in his tracks at the sight of the bright blue house. The off-white downstairs rooms dazzled him and he couldn't imagine sleeping in the mauve bedroom. When his wife returned from the bring and buy sale she was grinning from ear to ear at the dumbfounded look on her husband's face. "Whatever will the finance committee say", he kept muttering. Conversation between them was tense for the next couple of weeks as he became accustomed to the transformation.
