It does get really windy here though not as exposed as your spot Sue and as we don't have a tumble dryer these days our washing is dried outside wherever possible. I use 'storm' pegs an though the washing sometimes ends up wrapped around the line it rarely blows off all together! <br />VChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326477975870777023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-66356994211688981092015-05-12T12:06:25.514+01:002015-05-12T12:06:25.514+01:00I miss hanging out my laundry, as the smell itself...I miss hanging out my laundry, as the smell itself is worth its weight in gold.

I have been known to spend time chasing laundry round the garden. Our whirligig washing lines are so stretched because the washing gets spun and tangled round and round the lines with the wind. My pegs sometimes get blown away never to be found!! Others are found broken on the ground. xSusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-28760769644309637612015-05-12T11:07:35.028+01:002015-05-12T11:07:35.028+01:00It is fairly robust further south, I almost had a ...It is fairly robust further south, I almost had a peg every 2" on my washing yesterday.

They do not look like much and they are plastic but I often pop just one of these with every item, plus the ordinary pegs and the clothes stay on the line. Agree with all you say about line dried washing, sweet smelling.
