Putting washing on the line in the sun

[Allshallbewell2021]

I apologise if this is a niche pleasure - but does anyone else get a huge pleasure from seeing big sheets on the washing line in the sun?

Maybe it's a childhood thing.

[TheThingIsYeah]

I'm with you.

Clothes and sheets dry quick, it's good for the environment, and it's a sign of Spring!

Sadly a dying practice, which is why lots of people smell of damp dishcloths.

[DatingDinosaur]

It's not just you. Mine are happily flapping away on the line today

[Xanadu58]

Yes! Love it

[Allshallbewell2021]

And they smell amazing as well don't you think?

[MissCherryCakeyBun]

And they smell amazing too

Completely with you!

It gives me more pleasure than it should really! Everything feels and smells better when it's been hanging on the line.

I find watching the washing blow really relaxing too. Spring is on its way.

I hate using the dryer too.

[Sweetpotatofalafels]

Also, sliding into a freshly made bed with bedding that has been on the line earlier in the day is heaven to me. I sleep so much better

I got pleasure from a line of snow-white nappies.

[Cosmosforbreakfast]

Oh God yes!!!!!

The smell of sunshine from washing on the line is just something else. Best night's sleep ever in bedsheets straight off the line.

[ShipshapeShore]

A white wash on the line is ultimate satisfaction.

[Mindymomo]

Yes, me too, I hate having washing indoors.

[Sweetpotatofalafels]

Im stuck indoors atm with no windows. Even talking about this has put a smile on my face 😊

This is one of my favourite things! I love hanging washing out on the line. My DH laughs at me when I get excited at a good drying day. Can never replicate it indoors, the smell or the feel of line dried clothes is amazing and having lived in a flat for years with no outside space, I do not take it for granted now that we have a garden.

I've just thought the same thing putting my washing out on clothes airers. Going to get DH to put up the proper washing line and clean it down this weekend as I can feel spring coming!

We're due our second baby in April and will be using cloth nappies again and I can't wait for those little fluffy white nappies to be blowing on the line.

[Shouldbedoing]

It's the best!

Something about white sheets flapping against a blue sky and the green grass just makes me happy.
No idea why, it always has.

[Isthatascratchonmygrandmother]

Like a day in the park for me. I love seeing laundry on the line.

[Esgaroth]

We're moving in the spring to a house with our own garden and I am really excited to use the washing line! Outside line dried washing does smell so much better.

[Allshallbewell2021]

I'm sure Kate Bush wrote a song about it.

[Riverlee]

Too flippin wet to do that here.

[mibbelucieachwell]

Oh yes. Absolutely.


Gives me an all's right with the world feeling.

I just hung out my first load of the year and I am so pleased! The first daffodils are out in the garden, the clothes are flapping in the wind and the sun is shining. I don't do well in winter so really appreciate days like this.

Just hung a load out. Not very sunny here but a little breeze. Cold though so washing probably won't fully dry but still better than having it in the dryer from soaking wet
