Domesticity- part 4- laundry day

Washing the clothes is a retro experience- wooden wash boards are available, though I prefer to make do with soaking, swirling the clothes around a few times, then thorough rinsing..
Although I could use the smaller sink upstairs in the kitchen, its best to use the full size tub outside.
You can see the handy garden water tap, and the convenient drainage channel. The garden has several  such channels, to  take up the great amounts of water during the heavy tropical rain storms.

After washing, the tumble drier isn't needed- everything dries quickly in the garden.


In the garden there are breadfruit, saponellas, gnips and several leaved plants which we have as house plants in the UK.
