Six years is a long time in cafe life. Lots of wear and tear, heavy use. Day after day after day, after day. Every year at Christmas we used to give Great Titchfield a going over with the paint brush, bring her back to life a bit. We have updated things here and there, to try to keep that freshness but still with the industrial, warm, loving look and feel, but it is very hard to keep it all looking lovely and fresh and clean. In fact, I would say that keeping everything spotlessly clean is one of the hardest jobs in cafe life.
