Laundry on a Scottish Line



The team shirts are absolutely brilliant and a first for this site! Thanks again to Carolina!

Laundry on an Istanbul Line







I feel a theme of Turkish Laundry this week!

These come from Carolina who is not a blogger but a teacher friend. Thanks Carolina! I love that you always remember to look for laundry in your travels now - it makes for an interesting travelogue.

Laundry on a Madagascan Line





These are from Keda as well!
"i was visiting a lover who had moved there. he had already accepted the job when we met and it was for the french government so he had to go.. he loved it. and so did i when he sent me a ticket to visit.
sadly though with so much distance and not enough commitment on either side we couldn't make it last, but we did still have a blast. and mdagascar was incredible. i desperately want to go back and visit more of africa in my lifetime. it's all true what they say about it's sky. amazing. k*

Keda, these rock! I have actually been hoping for a photo of laundry drying on the ground as they do in Bangladesh so I am very happy that the second photo in particular has found its way to my blog. Thanks again.

Laundry on a Turkish Line




These photos are from Keda from one of my favourite blogs, Mama Hog 'N' the Lets. I have been harrassing her for months for her laundry images as I knew she would have some goodies, and I am happy to post them here!
She says these "are from gumusluk in southern turkey. while the lets were still in nappies we used washable ones, with poppers or velcro and had to handwash them while we were down there on holiday as our apartment had no machine. well luckily our maid did. after i'd got rid of and showered the majority of the gunk down the loo first, that was my part of the deal. but i never regretted it for a second. though she may have. and the nappies looked lovely on the line. i can't believe i don't have anypictures of the pink and yellow gingham ones though. so silly what you forget to capture. i hope you are well dear one. .kisses.k*" Thanks Keda!

Laundry on a Japanese Line


This one comes from happy lucy, at http://happylucy.blogspot.com/
"Finally I found this picture in my album. When my older son was born, my mother was very pleased. And she made a lot of diapers for my older son. Acutually I wanted to use disposable diapers. Because it is hard to wash cloth diapers. Especially it had poo. But I thought I should have used them. I used them expect night and going out.When he was a baby, I have gotten the child maternal leave for 1 year. (When my older son was 1 yearold, I came back to my job again.) So I could wash them."
Thanks to Lucy for adding her Japanese diaper laundry to this little blog!
