Hang the washing out

I get a wonderful sense of satisfaction from seeing clothes drying on the line. As they blow in the breeze I feel like I've done something well. (How sad!) I remember having this conversation with my Mum. I often use her phrase too - "Good drying weather" - on a blowy day.

I cannot get on with rotary lines though. I am lucky enough to have room for a long line which goes right down the length of the garden.

I found my tumble dryer expensive to use and it shrank things too! I gave it away. I

We always have lots of washing out here. The whole close has a rotary line.
I am the only one with a cover though, most just stay up.
One neighbour puts washing out every day including in rain and snow. I use an airer in the spare room on those days.
I do love tumble dried towels though.

Put mine out as often as possible. Once I need a coat to go into the garden it goes in the tumble drier.

I dry most of mine outside in good weather, or on an airer in the spare bedroom. However, I must confess to using the tumble dryer for towels and the little things like socks and pants, due to laziness and reluctance to show off my large smalls to the neighbours.

Couldn't be doing with taking it in and out Tanith so, while we still used ours, I bought a snazzy cover which had flowers and leaves all over.

Love my rotary drier it takes loads of washing and when I take the washing off it goes back in the garage .

Well I do have a tumble drier mostly for towels - I like them fluffy!!!

Interesting this, I have always hung my washing out in the past even if it has meant battling the wind but now we have had the building work done there's less room and I've been trying to persuade myself that a rotary would be just as good possibly better.

Ours gets on the line when the weather is reliable enough. Can't bear to keep taking it in and out. Otherwise on an airer in the conservatory.

I hang my washing out, even though I live in a flat, and its quite a trek (20 or so steps!) to the line
I can't bring myself to pay out for electricity if it can be avoided.

One lot out on the line, second lot spinning now!

I also hang washing out, having consigned my tumble dryer to moulder in the garage. My only regret is that I have to make do with a rotary clothes line, as there is nowhere in the garden to attach a long line. Rotary dryers are a pain.

My washing goes on the line Summer and most of the Winter. My neighbour has 5 adults to wash for and hardly ever uses her line I assume it's the tumble dryer for her too. Got rid of mine years ago and like Charleygirl wouldn't give one house room now.

I don't. I used to have a twirly but we decided that it took up too much room in our small garden.

I dry on a Molly Maid in the utility room although I do have a tumble dryer for panic situations.

I'd love to do it but live in a leasehold maisonette, lease forbids having a washing line outside

At present it is something I do daily. I do not have a tumble drier and have no desire for one. I cannot believe my friends and neighbours who could easily hang washing outside but prefer to waste money popping it in the tumble drier. More money than sense.
