    We have a pulley “sheilamaid”, it hangs above the rayburn and everything is dried by the morning. Definitely cheaper than running a tumble dryer!

    I’m from the southern United States and my grandma had a pulley (but she also didn’t have indoor plumbing until 1970 so she’s a special case). Lots of clothes lines here year round though! (Reminder for those in UK that the high in the summer here is around 40C and the low is only -6C so not much need for the pulleys in general since it’s so hot).
    Thanks for sharing your life, your beautiful home, and the stunning views of Skye. ❤

    So thankful for your chat about Nuala! I have a golden retriever who also gets to a point of hyper stimulation that it can very hard to get her to listen to us or even respond to high value treats and when it happens you can feel like such a bad owner but in reality it's just the hard parts of owning a dog sometimes despite trying your best!

    Hello from Florida USA. We have a laundry room with a "tumble" dryer but I do have a wall-mounted drying rack. I hang all my clothes to dry. My husband uses the tumble dryer for his clothes and underwear and we use it for towels, sheets, etc. I have mostly English and Scottish DNA so I have really enjoyed seeing Scotland through your channel.

Recently moved from Paris to Montpellier in the south where the weather is mostly sunny with blue skies (but it does get super windy) so we mostly dry our clothes on the line in the garden but our washing machine is in the kitchen too! Love your pulley so much and hope to have one if our dream of buying a house in the Dordogne comes true! 🤞🤞

    It’s funny when you talk about the switch in your collie’s head. We have a rescue corgi/Australian Shepard mix and she has the same thing. She’s very much different from our corgis. Our others I trained and are fairly predictable but our Lola is not. We noticed that we have to put the toys up or after a while she gets this crazed lazer focus on the ball where there is no getting through. Must be a herding instinct. ❤

    Hey Caroline! It’s pottering for me too and I’m based in Singapore. :) in Singapore apartments we typically have “service yards/balconies” which is basically a laundry room with a pulley system drying rack or now, automated ones that you don’t have to lift yourself and also comes with fans, a light and sometimes a heating element so we can dry our clothes even on rainy days in Singapore since it’s so humid here sometimes.
    We don’t really use dryers as much because it’s so hot here most of the time! Haha. Though I do have a washer dryer.
    But I love hanging clothes to air dry. It’s quite therapeutic for me. Hehe

    I knew you were going to say the word “quirks” before you even said it when talking about collies. I have one too and that’s exactly how we describe him - he has sensory overload when there’s a lot going on, he has his own quirks that only we understand. They are amazing dogs but you need to know their funny wee ways 😂. He’s a Munro bagging collie as well 🐾🥾 but has yet to bag his first Skye one. He did climb Dun Caan on Raasay in May though!

    Hello from the shores of Lake Superior in Canada. I love putting my washing out on the clothesline to dry, but we personally don’t use it in the long Canadian winters (except for freshening up our blankets and bedding). Some folks do, and I know my grandmother always used her outdoor clothesline in the winters. Our new house does not yet have one but it’s on my list of yard improvement projects. However I think I would like one of your pulley systems for hanging ironed quilting fabric in my sewing room.
