Funnily enough have recently got new washing line. Don't like the plastics type so went to a boat chandlers and bought it by the metre which they told us won't stretch.
I put most of my washing on an airer in the spare room and it is dry by next morning. I use the line for sheets if it is a nice day and towels. I do have a tumble drier but only use it when we get back from camping and there's a lot of washing
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
