Garden 29

Stepsons washing machine is broken so I am his port of call. Thank goodness for good weather.
There were 12 T shirts and three pairs of trousers + more. He is a fireman and saved this lot up for me to do on his day off then a speedy turnaround of the washing before going back on shift.
This has been going on for several weeks. Not sure why he doesn’t use his mums laundry service!! Maybe he is trying to wear me down so that I buy him a new machine!!

[Renee Salamon]

He’s a lucky fireman! And it’s added a ‘je ne sais quoi’ to your lovely garden photos

[Ingrid]

Cheeky monkey he is to use you! But a great photo opportunity and hooray for good weather!

I love it to see people still drying clothes outside. Your garden is so beautiful and warm and welcoming.
As for your doing the laundry... maybe the mom is doing the dishes... or maybe you're the more approachable mum... step or not.

[Dione Giorgio]

I don't believe he would try this on you. More than that I think he has come to respect and have confidence in you more than his parents. Anyway, something to o to pass your time, hehe.

[Steve Chappell]

That is a lot of laundry! Lucky for him that you help him out so much, but he really should get a new machine.

[Lis Lapthorn]

You are very kind.

I think I would point him to the machine and say help yourself! You are definitely a good woman to do it for him! On the other hand it did give you a photo for the day. And a lovely view of your garden as well.

[Mags]

You are a wonderful person to help him out!

[Lin]

I love fresh clothes from the line.

[Pam]

Maybe he just enjoys seeing you. How nice that you do that for him. I love that giant tree in your garden!

[Esther Rosenberg]

Love the smell of clothing hanging to dry outside. How nice of you to help him out.

[Diana]

Good that your machine takes such a huge load! He's lucky to have you.

[Peter Dulis]

nice

[JackieR]

I'll get round with mine on Monday!! Are there no launderettes on The Island?? Love your blue gate

[LManning (Laura)]

This is a fun slice of life.

[Cazzi]

He's onto a good thing there. Hope he doesn't expect it to be returned ironed and folded too. 😃 Your garden looks idyllic!

[Susan Wakely]

@serendypyty no he didn’t but it was!!

[Bill]

Must be the time of year for washing machines. Ours went a couple of days ago.

[Carole Sandford]

Several weeks! You are very obliging! Makes a great photo though!

[*lynn]

Great photo! Love to see clothes hanging on the line. I think it's a compliment to you that he comes to you.

[Kartia]

Oh it’s just to create a leading line to your lovely gate! Very kind of you to do.

[Babs]

Oh this brought back memories. I remember washing lines like this and I remember our washing line snapping too just after I put a candlewick bedspread on it. Glad we have a sturdy Hill's hoist here in Australia.

@maggiej the were out of sight for the purpose of modesty.

[Kathy]

Seems a dryer would be a good investment too.
