Best drying day for ages, hot and windy. My laundry baskets are empty and the third load is on the line. Even jeans and towels drying quickly

Two loads dry... third in the machine. Wooden storm pegs all the way for me. Think I got them from Tesco. Have held firm despite being on the coast..

Most of mine are plastic. Some were my gran's and the rest came from a pound shop about 15 years ago.
One load on the line, one in the wash, but it's forecast to rain later so not sure I'll get both dry

About This Thread

Maintained by Jock Itch
For lovers of the art of hanging the washing out:

Weather forecast: Shall I hang my washing or not ? Check here:

bbc.co.uk

Terminology: 'Fluffing' -- Going out and runninng your hands over the washing just to feel whether still moist. Sometimes not needed but we all like to fluff

'Melvyn' - where you run you fingers through your washing, you think it's damp but you're not sure. It could be dry. You leave out or take in? you've done a Melvyn'.

Also for sharing photos of 'Extreme pegging'. Plastic or wooden they are all embraced here :)

lifeyourway.net Some top tips to help increase your enjoyment of this wonderful past time :)
