Laundry on a New Zealand Line



This one comes from Catherine (www.poetrychook.blogspot.com) and she says
"I'm not sure if this style of clothes line is found other than in New Zealand and Australia. Most homes have them here, they rotate so you can stand in one spot and hang all the laundry out."

And yes Catherine, we do have those lines here. I think it's a British thing actually, but I've always thought that my Kiwi friends were more British than the Brits themselves. I love this style of line - it makes it so easy to get your clothes off and on. The only problem is the space - you need a yard for this, which of course makes sense seeing as you are in a land with heaps of space. (Can I come? London is feeling very cramped right now)

While we are on the subject of different styles of clothes lines, I would love to get a photo on here of laundry that's hanging between buildings. Like in Italy or Chicago or something. You know the kind - where the neighbours agree to hang a line between their flats because they have no space, but the air space between them is just enough to hang out some clothes.

Anyone out there have such a picture they want to post? It's a pretty good day to have laundry from New Zealand on here, so let's keep 'em coming!

This style of laundry is pretty frequent here in Hungary as well. You can see it in gardens everywhere.
