It isn't quite spring yet, although the almond trees in our street seem to think it is and are already supporting fragile pink blossoms.....so thoughts turn to spring cleaning.

On a recent visit to a National Trust property, I discovered that they vacuum their delicates on the lowest possible suction with a muslin cloth held over the nossle with an elastic band. That's a thought......but I am not sure I'm brave enough to try it with my miniatures.
