Hanging the Washing on the Line

Well, today after going to the gym and a meeting with a bunch of ladies from Bishop's Stortford Baptist Church, I cam home to hang out the washing on the line. I had put the load in just before we went out (my mother-in-law and I), and then since it is nice and sunny now, I put it out to dry. Unfortunately the days of it being nice and sunny and warm out are numbered, and soon we will be resorting to hanging the clothes on racks and over radiators all over the house. (Note: This is not what all English people do. Some even have tumble dryers which I will buy when we get a house of our own.) This country is pretty damp in the cooler weather as you can imagine, and hanging clothes outside in damp weather often does absolutely nothing to get them dry if that makes any sense. Well anyway, some things are just not for everyone. I think I will hang things outside in the summer and use the tumble dryer in the winter that way when your clothes come out of the dryer, they can be all snuggly warm which is just what you need in the damp cold winters isn't it?
