We have decided to take part in Wash Wednesday along with Garden Mama:) This is our washing line, nothing fancy, it stands in our little courtyard, just outside the kitchen window amongst our palm trees. We have such amazing weather here is South Africa that there is no need for us to use a tumble dryer during the year. Even in winter we can still hang our washing outside to dry with the wonderful sunshine.
Have a wonderful day everyone,
Warmly
Linda
I think I may have used my dryer less than 5 times in the past year. I hang my clothes inside in the winter and outside in the summer months. i think the clothes last longer and do not shrink.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great drying rack! I used to only hang our laundry try, need to get back into that good habit.
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you Linda!
Beautiful...
ReplyDeleteAbout 9 months of the year are either quite chilly or downright cold here, so we have to use our dryer most of the time. We do have a drying rack, though, that I like to use inside the house or outdoors in July & August.
Pretty photo Linda.
ReplyDeleteSunny South African Winters are the best hey Linda. A lovely wash day photo.

How lovely to see the laundry drying in the sun amongst the greenery!
ReplyDeleteoh, i love that photo! this was on my one small change list and i haven't accomplished it yet! oops.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteI can just smell it. My mom hung out the clothes every washday when I was a kid in Kansas City and Los Angeles. Not me, though - too many birds.
ReplyDeleteLovely! South Africa is on my places to visit list. It looks so beautiful there. What are the white flowers?
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful Linda, I love this style of line and have been looking for one. How lovely to have the sun all year long! Thank you for participating in this project, it has been so much fun I can't wait for next weeks wash day: )
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, I use a bamboo drying rack above my fire to air and to dry the clothes in winter, it works wonderful. cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteI love the look of wash on the line! Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat wash line :)
ReplyDeleteplease send some sunshine here, my washing is hanging wet and drab on the line right now!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to be able to hang your clothes out to dry all year. They don't allow us to hang clothes where I live (but sometimes I do anyway :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo.
Dear Wendyytb
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting and posting a comment on my blog:) I think you are right about the clothes lasting longer if they dry outside:)
Warmly
Linda
Dear Marie,
ReplyDeleteDrying clothes above your fire is such a good idea. I will remember that for those really dark winter days:)
Warmly
Linda
I've been looking over everyone's clean laundry of late and I must say it has a tranquility about it. Your laundry garden is so quaint and lovely. I think I might have to put up a clothesline so I can share in this joy too.
ReplyDeleteOh Linda,
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you can dry outside year round - that wonderful fresh air smell from clothing that have been hung outside is so nice.
Warm wishes, Tonya
I love the fresh smell of clothes that have been dried out on the line! I grew up with that and so as soon as we could, I had my sweetheart build me a clothes line in my back yard. My favorite are the sheets. Climbing into bed between crisp sweet smelling sheets....
