Do you still hang your washing out on a cloths line?
I have decided to peg my wet clothes onto my airer, then put it on my decking…I miss not being able to dry my wet clothes on a long washing line…
This thread came about as I’ve just noticed my neighbour, he’s hung his washing out on one of those rotary clothes lines, how do you rate those?
I love to peg laundry on an outside line to dry when the weather is suitable - There hasn’t been many suitable days lately but it’s dry and sunny today, so I have a line of white cotton bedlinen and towels blowing in a light breeze in the sunshine.
I do like to see a line of laundry billowing in the breeze.
I do not like rotary clothes lines, so am glad my garden has a large open space to stretch a washing line across.
I don’t like to see empty washing lines permanently stretched across the garden, either.
Mine is a retractable line; when not in use ,I unhook one end from a boundary fence post and it winds itself in to a neat reel container attached to the garage wall.
Gosh Yes. As far as I’m concerned it’s the only way to dry if you want the clothes fresh. I have the old fashioned ropes between poles, 3 of them sunk into the ground. I don’t like those Rotary ones, how are you meant to get your bedding spread out along the line.
Bedding and clothing absolutely.
Ah kiddo, you live in them Bonny hills of Scotland, where the air ain’t as polluted…remember my mother was from Lossiemouth and I lived there, …I remember only to well, my aunty hanging out her washing on those lovely long clothes lines,
Talking of hanging out washing lines a nieghbour who is probably the laziest man I have ever known decided to put up a plastic washing line which he could not bother to pull tight between poles so you were likely to be decapitated when cutting grass.
I took it down and put it up properly as it is me that usually cuts the grass, far too much for him. 
That’s the problem when you have to share the garden with others…
I have one rope I use more than the others, and it loosens it’s self off a bit. I untie it then pull it back up real tight again, do this several times a year.
I remember my mother used to use a washing line. Later, when I was a student, I had to using a washing machine and a tumble dryer. Now my wife still hangs her’s out now.
Ah the joys of washing blowing in the wind . Yes I have a large rotary drier in my garden. Rarely ever use tumble dryer, fresh air and sunshine is perfect and free . A good drying day today . The sun is shining but its cold. I had a friend who had a huge back garden but she never hung washing out , always used the dryer . Her elec bill must have been high . I’m just an old fashioned girl !
I have never owned a tumble dryer or a dishwasher for that matter. 
Mine too! I also have a second one in the garage so, if it is raining, I can hang things in there, leave the windows open and still have that lovely fresh air smell on my laundry.
Nor me - wouldn’t want either.
We have a long line washing line running the length of our back garden. We have had a rotary line in the past due to space constraints.
With the long line bedding etc is easier to hang out and dry.
We have an indoor line in the back passage (I know it’s an unusual place for a washing line 
) for when it’s raining
Of course, weather permitting. It’s abusing our planet not to.
Bummer!! 
It’s a nice day here & I have put a couple of bits out this morning. And we have a dehumidifier for those winter days when only the radiators are going to dry the bits that you cannot tumble dry.
I will not say I have a long line, as my garden is small, but I do have two horizontal wires that I use to hang clothes on. As well as a couple that are there to radiate RF (Radio Frequency.)
Well now that I have an actual garden that has washing poles (and line, AND pegs) I am looking forward to hanging out washing in the nicer weather. I used a tumble dryer before when the kids were at home, and after they left, just used radiators or an air dryer rack.
Even though we now have a garden with poles already set in concrete, V still uses her condenser drier. We’ve had one of these ever since we returned to live in England.
