Painters privilege
I have come to understand that the role I have as a tradesman painter is a real privilege. As people trust me to redecorate their rooms, I'm given access to a short window of opportunity in getting to understand their world, their family and how they live.

She did a great job and I'm planning to sign her up for an apprenticeship (in about 12 years time!)
