When I was a kid yellow was my all time favourite colour...got my Mother to paint my room bright yellow and had an Indian bedspread with yellows, blacks, orange and browns (the day after I moved out my Mother repainted it pale magnolia). When I was 18, put down a deposit and got a mortgage....tiny little wooden worker's cottage opposite a factory, so run-down and decrepit. We worked hard to put it right. All the outside was faded and peeling took us weeks to sand it back...I painted it bright wattle yellow with brown trim. Our friends used to call it the "Banana House". Now I favour purple and of course my alltime favourite black....but still yellow makes me smile.
