No Mandy, I'd not heard them called that either. A work colleague from Manchester years ago talked about a clothes maiden! lol

OH and I are both pooped and off to bed now. The cold weather seems to tire me out. lol Or maybe all that 'off roading' did yesterday.

Night, night xx

Never heard Linen Horse before Mandy .Clothes horse is what we called it.Ours would be in the kitchen in front of the boiler.As the older it got the more wonky it got lol.It was a bit like putting up a deckchair.

Ann, i have got both your emails ok , love the Cute one , he's just like a big ball of wool with little stick legs lol

I remember mum hanging washing out and bringing it in all frozen ,jumpers with the arms all stiff that you had a job to fold them in, and trying to fold sheets that had been on the line ,your fingers were nearly blue with the cold after folding them .
Hanging them on a linen horse and then watching them steam as they thawed out !!

Jane Report 3 Dec 2010 18:05

Yes Ann she has ,but the funny thing is she has actually had a much easier journey than the people she works with who live in London lol.
Right ,off to the station now.The drive is icy in the gateway I may have to have a couple of runs to get out.

Hannah has had awful weather for the start of her commute to her new job hasn't she. I hope it soon gets better for her.

Annx Report 3 Dec 2010 17:37

Lol Jane........you should have got 2 e-mails, one titled Cute!!, but it has been returned with some error message. Another e-mail I sent to someone else has come back with the same message too. I could not get into my e-mails at all last night so there seems to be a glitch. I will try it again a bit later.

Jane

Jane Report 3 Dec 2010 17:30

You couldn't put any washing out here Mel.It freeze within minutes I reckon.Thank goodness for tumbledryers!
I have to go and get Hannah from the Station for 6.30.Chris would normally do it as he finishes work around that time ,but he is late tonight.
It is just Pasta ,Garlic bread,and a salad tonight.Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Ann,Fantastic photos.I think you should become a professional .You would do great business.

Ros sounds like she really needs some help with her pain Frank, it's bound to get her down. My sister has to take morphine at times when her pain is bad with her osteoarthritis, but she says it does work.

I think I will have to dig out a HAT now my hair is cut. lol Went out with OH later looking around some shops, then over to see his parents, going the scenic route.......MISTAKE!! The road we took was still white over,but with tracks of ice where a few car tyres had been. Another slow, crawling along journey. We saw a field of Alpacas/Llamas on the way and they did look funny against the snow with their long necks.

The OHs should be like me, sit around most of the day, on the computer or reading books, that what retirement is all about. Come spring, I will be busy in the garden.
