Putting washing on the line in the sun

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.

I'm loving all this steamy washing!
Mine didn't quite dry today, but I pegged out quite late so probably my fault. Gorgeous sunny day here, but no breeze.
I've got a new fabric conditioner to try out tomorrow. I'm quite excited 🤣

NoWordForFluffy · 20/10/2024 12:35

Two loads out today. We've got 45mph winds and bright sunshine, so I'm hoping for some speedy drying! 🤣

We've had strong winds but torrential rain so not washing out here today!

Mine’s out just now, VERY firmly pegged 🤣, blue sky at the front of the house and dark clouds at the back…I’m nothing if not an optimist 🤣

InMySpareTime · 21/10/2024 11:54

Mine's out, we've actually had decent drying weather for this time of year.

NoWordForFluffy · 21/10/2024 12:34

We have our towels out today. They've been out 6 hours, so I'm assuming they're thereabouts dry in this wind! 🤣

Lifebeganat50 · 26/10/2024 11:24

A lovely sunny and windy day today so 2 loads are out and the first one is almost dry. It really doesn’t take much to please me 🤣

mum2jakie · 26/10/2024 14:27

Same here. Lovely Autumn day - dry and sunny. Two loads on the line. One in the wash.

NoWordForFluffy · 16/11/2024 14:05

It's grey today, but I've just put our third load out as it's dead breezy and dry. Getting as much done as possible before the week of monsoon season next week!

I just got a load of bedding dry and back on the bed today! It's sunny and blowy here in N Yorkshire, so I've put another load out as the forecast for tomorrow is dry and as long as the weather is dry it doesn't matter if it's a bit chilly.

Besides I've no tumble drier and it has to go SOMEWHERE...

mum2jakie · 16/11/2024 22:03

Tried a load today but it ended up drizzling! School shirts mostly dry. Towels not so much but at least they smell line fresh!

Muchtoomuchtodo · 17/11/2024 11:58

I got the bedding 3/4 dry on Friday and have just put a load out today too as it’s dry with a light breeze. Even if it doesn’t dry fully it’s worth getting it started

mum2jakie · 17/11/2024 17:27

Torrential rain here in the Midlands! Given out rain and possibly snow for the rest of the week!!

NoWordForFluffy · 17/11/2024 17:37

Same here on the NW coast, @mum2jakie.

Brief dry spell tomorrow for the washing to go out!

Lifebeganat50 · 18/11/2024 09:41

2 loads on the line this morning-first load was frozen when the second load went out 😂

NoWordForFluffy · 18/11/2024 10:08

Freeze drying is a totes legit method of getting stuff dry! 🤣 We've two loads out too, but also anticipate it freezing!

mum2jakie · 18/11/2024 20:59

We've got very wet snow so no chance of any laundry freezing or drying here!!

Lifebeganat50 · 02/01/2025 08:42

I’ve just put the big linen table cloths out -yes it’s frosty!😂

It'll be fine!

Absolutely! It’s a beautiful sunny frosty morning here-it does my soul good

Decafflatteplease · 02/01/2025 11:01

Beautiful sunny winters day here. I've just put our duvet on the line to air and refresh. It's a wool one so needs airing every so often, far easier in the summer of course!

I washed and hung out my Christmas tablecloth and it got snowed on 😆

crew2022 · 03/01/2025 23:11

Put the duvet cover and pillow cases out today. Had to pop them in the dryer for twenty minutes when I brought them in but they were almost dry and smell lovely!!

One advantage of washing lots of costumes after a show is you can do colour matching. This was last summer, but I found it very satisfying.
