pegs and pegging

[sunflower68]

Sorry postie but this has been bugging me for years.  Why is it so popular to peg out washing, even on cold days?  I keep trying to be a super housewife but the washing usually gets rained on when I'm at work and it is so crispy I can barely get the iron thru.

If I tumble my clothes they are soft, smell lovely and are done in a few moments.  I also don't need to iron anything. Does anyone agree as I seem to be the only one on the close not pegging, let alone colour-coordinating pegs!

sunflower - I also like washing up!

We could have had a dish washer fitted years ago, but I chose not to have one. I have a double drainer with middle sink for rinsing, so that's good enough for me.

Also, when I'm at the sink, I'm listening to radio 4, watching the squirrells chasing each other round the garden & the blue tits flitting in & out of their little boxes - what more could I want?
