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.

I love it, but miss my lines full of tiny babygrows and terry nappies.

Love washing on the line, smells so fresh.

I love it too. Even today it was cold but they were almost dry and I just put them in the dryer for twenty minutes. Saves money and so much fresher.

I love it, but it will be a few weeks before it is warm enough to do that here. I'm a bit jealous of people who have daffodils in bloom as we still have snowdrops.

I somehow forgot and recently rediscovered the whole sun bleaching out bad stains on line dried clothing. IMMENSELY satisfying. 10/10 would highly recommend.

One of my favourite things.

Totally agree op!

i hang out all year round when not raining… “great drying day” is one of my most overused expressions!

my fave thing is washing bedsheets, lime drying (finishing off in the dryer if needed) and putting back on the bed the same day. They smell amazing 😊

yes, and getting into a bed made with sun dried sheets

One of my favourite things ,, hanging the washing out early

Don't you just hate it when the summer haters post about how much they love the rain?

I have a load done and a load on now so it’s ready to go out early 😂

I've found my people 🥰

One of lifes simple pleasures!

We have 2 washing lines as it's a large garden and love seeing things flapping about on the line. Especially liked a row of cloth nappies when DC were younger.

The weather app says zero percent chance of rain here tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to getting all the school uniform washed and on the line in the morning!

Love it. Last weekend was the first weekend in months for me. I felt very competent.

Nope, love the smell of radiator/tumble dried clothes.

When the kids come in from playing out and smell of 'outside'... No, that is not for me 🙊

I do dry clothes outside whenever I can but I do not like the smell!

@Decafflatteplease I also have a line in a separate part of the garden to catch the lower sun in the winter…the previous owner of my house who put it there was clearly a woman after my own heart 😂

Our garden doesn't get any sun in winter. However, I have checked the weather and it looks like I will be able to line dry over the next few days - yay!

I hang my washing out all year round (not in the UK), and yes it does dry, or at least partially dry, even if it's cold or there's no sunshine. Unless it's actually raining my washing goes on the line - and yes, I love the sight of it.

I think that's one of the joys. It's something women have been doing forever, and it really hasn't changed, still just a line and a few pegs. Technology can't improve on it.

It's warm and windy here today (NZ) - perfect!

Work gets in the way of my love for a line of laundry. But I am partial to drying on the rotary overnight in the summer and getting it in and ironed first thing. 👍

None of this darked on nonsense here😁

Line dried bedding and towels are little dopamine hits throughout the drying seasons. My children are learning how to hang things out too, this summer they should be able to not hang things completely wonkily. :)

I’m quite lucky, I have a long line and a whirligig in the garden. I’ve got room for another long line, so that may get added this year.

@Chicheguevara , ha ha I love that . They will all be searching on Amazon for the wonder gadget.

I love this 😆

I'm fascinated by the putting it out at night in the summer sorcery! I've never done this, is this common among my people here?
