It’s Cowes Week once again & the Solent is brimming with sails…. Back in the 1600s laundry day aboard a ship comprised often of dragging the laundry in a huge net bag behind the ship to agitate them & hanging them along the rigging to dry….. what a sight to behold…. And what a huge job…..Thankfully washing and drying in our local launderette using one of our super extra large 5 load machines takes on average around an hour….. and clothes don’t come out in salt patches….
