that the installers themselves were necessarily dishonest, but if

more closely.

This is very good advice. In another house and a far-away life, I had a
'secret' safe installed. It was in a windowsill and covered by a cushion.
I felt quite smug about it until one day I heard the carpenter who had made
the aperture for the safe say to another tradesman who had commented on
something else in the house "oh that's nothing, they've got a secret safe
upstairs in X room"!!

To return to topicity: I've indulged in a bunch of new-to-me
fuchsia cultivars this year. snip

I've just bought a new one - or new to us, anyway, F. Roesse Blacky - quite
dramatic.
