The rocks of Earlsfield

I woke this morning to worry about the rocks of Earlsfield (see reference 1), a worry which I now share.

The colour scheme of this novel garden furniture is grey and cream. Assuming that it is left out of doors all the time, within a few months the rocks will become home to various lichens, mosses and such like and will no longer be a smart cream. Worse still, various forms of animal life may well take up residence.

Now it may well be that the manager of the Leather Bottle will find this offensive. Perhaps the managing décor consultant (outside) at Young's will find this offensive. Perhaps she is called Mary Portas, although I have not checked at reference 2. Part of the deal may be that she cannot own up to it. So what is to be done?

A crude answer would be to apply a pressure washer or a steam hose, but I do not think that would do terribly well. It would not restore the rocks to the uniform pristine creamness which we saw and loved. What I think is that the tables will have to be dismantled, the rocks taken out and scrubbed all over, with the empty cases perhaps pressure washed. This should perhaps be done once a month and thus avoid altogether any unsightly build-ups.

PS: look for MDC(O) in the Young's office directory.
