A spa day for the Maiden and pet pampering for her two swans. That was the task that faced Christine, Viv and Sheila. The Maiden and Swans sculpture on Ray Mill Island is now nearly 40 years old and is in need to repair and a touch of paint. A local artist has agreed to give her a make-over but before this can be done she needed a good clean. We set about giving her a scrub with soft brushes and river water, getting into all the folds and crevices. She got the full works - including pedicure, manicure, teeth brushing, hair treatment & skin care. The swans got a good preen. We then gave them all a final rinse. Tara, our taskowner stopped by to say hello and thank us, and also bring us some delicious grapes from her garden. Now all that's needed is a few dry days for the restoration to begin
