Some standards last a lifetime.
Others, a little longer.
At Sudeley Castle in the Cotswolds, the story goes that a housekeeper named Janet never quite relinquished her duties.
After retiring in the early 1950s, she returned each week to inspect her successor’s work. And according to the castle’s own ghost stories, even death couldn’t persuade her to stop.
Her ghost is said to visit the upstairs rooms, running a disapproving finger over the furniture - still checking for dust.
We rather admire her commitment to standards. Although we do encourage our team to switch off at the end of the day.
Happy Halloween from Haus Maids.
