Spring Cleaning

Saturday, 12th May, 2012.
We went down to Many Meetings and gave her a spring clean. It was amazing that the outside was as dirty after five weeks as she had been at Harefield after five months.  We think this must be due to the proximity of the M25, which can always be heard as a dull rumble in the background.
Robin cleaned the outside and touched up the paint where we had a few scrapes while Marion cleaned the interior and lined all the drawers. She used wallpaper for the bedroom drawers as we couldn't find any proper lining paper - it looks great but it kept on rolling up as she was doing it -infuriating! MM looks all shipshape now and ready for our first summer cruise. Most of our cruising-type clothes are on board too now.
We spoke to our next-door neighbours on n.b. "Tree Sparrow", a pleasant couple called Hilary and Bruce; they were about to set off for Godalming.
The spring-cleaning took much longer than we anticipated and it was late when we set off back to Reigate, so we decided to go to Pizza Express despite feeling very scruffy in our working clothes.  What a nice surprise it was to bump into Mick and Jo Bridges (formerly of the choir), who had been for a pizza too!
