You may recall I had Henry handwashed in October. Only the outside was cleaned, but this week, I decided I’d get him cleaned inside and out — what a treat for him! I went shopping and left the man to it.

When I got back, he shone again, and they’d hoovered the carpets and the boot, dusted the dashboard and even took the floor mats out and given them a good wash! Amazing.

My insurance company emailed me the other week, saying I should do all these checks on Henry to make sure he’s ok for winter driving. I haven’t ever done this before, but, what with Henry getting on a bit now and the long drive up north beckoning, I thought he maybe should be checked. But not by me!

I took him to the garage yesterday, and they spent an hour checking him, and when I came back, they said he was fine, apart from a couple of things, which would wait till his MOT in May. This was good news. When I asked how much it was going to cost, I got even better news: it was free!

So now, Henry is a healthy, clean, happy car!
