Spring Clean

The most desired season has arrived, after a particularly cold and snowy burst recently.


The change in seasons is desired for its new birth and burst of colour.


We have put together some of our favourite photos of new birth, whether it is blossoms, ripening fruit or potential for ducklings.

Of course after all the indulgences of August's Food Festival one could feel rather inclined to have a spring clean of sorts.  I may have been so bold to state that a cleansing detox diet would be done en masse.  I've started slowly, and had my car valeted!

That sounds rather flash, having the car valeted, but really I let the experts do it by taking the car along to Auto Clean Groomers at 15 Alfred Street, Mt Cook (just by the Basin Reserve), phone (04) 385 7354.

After a season of rather wet Saturday mornings ferrying muddy football players around in the car, the car definitely needed a cleanse.

The very friendly and thorough guys at Auto Clean Groomers cleaned and washed our interior and exterior.  The valet was $99 and included:

• car wash, wax, wheels, door jams
• windows inside and out
• full vacuum and spot cleaning (shampoo) seats, carpets and mats
• dress and detail all interior vinyl and deodorise

Stay tuned to see whether The Locals decide to do a lemon detox or not.
