Hang or tumble

I've just heard that clothes poles are being removed from an estate in London by the council. Do you still hang your washing or are the days of the washing line numbered? I find it theraputic - although a nuisance when the weather is so unpredictable!

Well, after reading and adding to this thread recently I began to think I ought to do less tumbling and more hanging. Actually, any hanging would be more because I always use the tumble drying.

But not today!

Today I sorted out my less-than-reliable line and hung a load of washing out for the first time in several years. I watched it with eagle-eyes in case the line collapsed but it didn't and I now have a basket of line-dried clothes. They don't feel quite the same as tumbled clothes but I've done my bit for the environment and my electricity bill...

Thank you for tweaking my conscience!

Wafting in the breeze and sunshine as we speak. I use the tumble dryer a few times a year smile

I have always been fortunate to have not only a garden but facilities to dry clothes in doors so have never had a need for a tumble dryer.

Not every one is as fortunate. DD has a garden but no facilities indoors so has a tumble dryer.
