Often my mum would hang the washing outside and in a bright crisp day soon as the sun shifted our cloths would freeze but once on the maiden and our coal fire they soon dried off mind you I’m 1 of 10 children so you can imagine how big our maiden was they smelt good when dry none of this clothing fabric softener .
my mam was a grafter . And yes we did have a tv although it a 10p slot one . Oh the good old days . Bless my mam
