Don't have much to do with neighbour generally, say hello if we meet and pop a Christmas card through her door so it was strange for her to shout to me over the back garden fence when I was pegging out the second line of washing today.
She says that my constantly having washing out spoils the enjoyment of her garden as there is constant movement and noise from flapping clothes and so she wanted to know if I could have a day or two every week where I didn't peg out.
I was gobsmacked tbh and trying not to laugh but explained that with seven in the family there is a lot of washing and drying to be done and I like to take advantage of the drying days so planning days not to peg out wasn't really possible but come October I rarely peg out anyway as garden is mostly shade then so not much longer for her to be bothered now anyway. But of course come October she won't want to sit in the garden then anyway.
So AIBU to peg lines of washing out when neighbour wants to sit in her garden? For clarity there are no small children here so no noise in the garden otherwise and other than cutting the grass and me pegging out our garden isn't used so it's not that we do anything that might disturb her if she's in the garden anyway.
AIBU?
Neighbour and my washing

YANBU. She sounds a touch bonkers 
Do you have particularly rustly clothes? My washing is on my balcony blowing in the breeze and I can't hear it at all
She's potty! I would hang out as many of your flappiest clothes as possible! 
She can piss off. What a load of shite. No one's washing disturbs a neighbours use of their garden.
Tell her to log it with 101 if she is concerned .

That is brilliant batshit!
Ignore it OP, of course you are entitled to hang out your washing in your own garden.
She's crackers... but then again, one of my favourite things is seeing bedsheets drying, so I'm probably equally weird.
No covenants here and she does peg washing out herself once or twice a week as she explained, it's the every day that she objects to I think. But as I explained I have seven times more washing to do so can't fit it all in on one or two days a week.
And now my third load is ready she'll be thinking I've done it on purpose

She's a loon.
Or you have very raucous laundry. One or the other.
Because carrier bags are 5p now, tell her you wash them to keep them hygienic for you to reuse, hang those out on the line to dry
The trouble is, now she's mentioned it you'll be feeling uncomfortable every time you hang washing out! She really has no right to make you feel like that and I would be politely telling her to back the fuck off.
