Jonny

I asked Jonny if he was nicking the church lead as he walked past me carrying a piece of guttering. He explained he was taking it home to paint, it's too cold and windy to do outside, and he didn't want the church to smell of paint.
He's just rendered the wall behind him with three layers of lime, etching in the brick shapes to match existing walls. He expects his work to last at least 200 years. He's going to put a Manga style signature behind the radiator.
Jonny is from St Austell and been doing plastering and decorating since age 26. Wish he lived near us to do our dining room!

I love the way you have captured him at work. The wonderful light in this photo makes it a fabulous portrait of him.

Did you get his phone number..... we could do with a decorator in St. Austell. We have one we use but he is very expensive. :)

@swillinbillyflynn I did!!! Unfortunately he declined my offer to send you his number as he's snowed under with work.

@grammyn I know! It's as if he knew where to stand for me!!
