I look forward to my trip to the U.S. in June - it will be an interesting experience.

I wish we could boast the same but sadly for large parts of the United States clothesline drying is becoming a lost art. Maybe when people start worrying more about global warming they will start to reconsider. Or maybe when electric bills start being 4 or 5 times what they are now. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

This article is fascinating. Here in New Zealand we ALWAYS hang our clothes out on the line. Using a drier is extremely rare and probably only 1 in 20 households would have one. Those people would only use it if the weather is terrible or if they have many children. It completely perplexes me that some people constantly use unnatural techniques to dry their clothes. I realise that in winter there is probably no other way of drying clothes if it is snowing. But, for other times, all you need to do is hang out your clothes one weekend morning, and bring them in when they're dry a few hours later. Or, hang your clothes on a rack inside, and they'll be dry within 3 days. Just imagine how much money you'd save on the energy bill! Wow! This article is fascinating.
