I only use the tumbler when absolutely necessary!
Washing's almost always dried on the line, or in winter I use one of the heated airers from Lakeland.
I have a rotary line in the back, but also sometimes have a line running the length of the back garden, I love using that, but it's only suitable until late spring when the plants grow so tall that the washing hits them! Then it gets wound up and put in the garage until autumn!
I also have stainless steel pegs, otherwise it took me an age to hang my washing out, as the pegs on each item had to match, two green, two blue etc.......yes, I know, weird!
