I have no intention of letting the council anywhere near it. As my

And what's wrong with green eyes? When I had contact lens overwearing,
I discovered that (underneath the brown), my eyes are grass green.
It's not exceptional in someone of largely Celtic stock ....

I assume she meant green = naive.
She also used to say in similar cirumstances "I'm not so green as
cabbage-looking."

I deduced that! I'm quite fond of the latter aphorism in the form
"I'm not so green as I'm cabbage-looking."
