Maverick Woman Paints Front Door Green


A renegade from the normally sedate village of Godshill has caused upset and confusion over her decision to re-paint her front door a vivid shade of green.

Self-described free spirit Emily Spurt, 82, took the decision after experiencing “utter desperation and an impending sense of hopelessness” at the lack of anything ever happening in the Village she has lived in for 40 years. This Muffin reporter spoke to Emily through the letterbox of her newly painted front-door.

Emily Spurt, paint maverick

Asked her how she felt about the villagers reactions the adrenaline junkie responded by informing me that I had green paint on my nose as it hadn’t dried yet.

Fellow Godshill residents were scathing in their reactions. Emilys neighbour, Albert Cockle, 94 and a retired Mole Whisperer told us: The trouble with that wild card is she wont grow up. We here in the village like things just the way they are. If its action and excitement she wants they have knitting and cribbage evenings at the Village Hall on the second Sunday of every March

Chairman of Godshill Parish Council, Sir Reginald Bufton and his fellow councillors have scheduled an emergency meeting of Godshills Organised Briefing and Response Agency (GOBRA) to decide the best course of action to deal with the door.

Sir Reginald noted: If its an adrenaline fuelled lifestyle shes after she should move to Newport where they have those thing called shops, whatever they are.
