Of course, regardless of your beliefs or cultural background a good spring cleaning is always a good idea this time of year. The day before Good Friday (called 'Maundy Thursday'), Catholics might take the time to clean their houses thoroughly. To welcome in Nowruz, the Persian new year, celebrants will give everything in their house a deep clean, from armchairs to zesters in anticipation for Passover, a candlelight cleaning is done the evening before the big celebratory dinner. Plenty of cultures have their own dictates for a spring clean well done. With the looming advent of a new season of warmer days, more daylight and colour by way of fresh blooms and veg, however, there comes a responsibility: the spring clean. Springtime is finally on the horizon (even if things are a little chilly at the moment).
You might've already seen the early signs of it: crocuses, purple and bulbous, poking up from dirt patches and daylight holding its own past six o'clock, sprigs of bright green asparagus and chard peeking out of farmer's market stands and great big picnic tables in pubs' back gardens, crowded with groups of friends.
