Cool!

The weather's turned quite chilly.

There's snow and hail about.

But nothing stops a northern lass

When there's washing to put out.

[sassy59]

Oh my goodness Don, that’s hilarious! Forget knee deep, she’s chest deep. Xxxxx

[Tilantoe]

Brilliant! We're tough up north

[newlands]

Love it Don

[Hacienda]

My Children were Born "oop North".

When Snow was always very Deep

The "Nappies" we fetched in like Cardboard

as did the Washing, it didn't fall in a Heap

No Disposable's or Tumbles then

How on Earth did we survive!

A Northener & A Yorkshire Lass

True Grit & Stamina, We are Alive.

Oh, Don, I didn't know how to end it, Thank you for every Rhyme you create wonderfully. XXXX

[pegbl]

Well I'm a northern girl and I've brought my washing in that's like cardboard ....but that's too extreme for me it could stay out 😂😂😂xxxx

[Ergendl in reply to pegbl]

Me too, orange sheets that stood up like billboards.

The secret is to give it a good beating while on the line as the water has turned to ice. Freeze drying , long before they thought of freeze dried coffee.

[Katinka46]

Absolutely!

[WheezyAnne]

Very funny, I dropped my tablet with giggling so much.

[Hacienda]

Thank you, But I am going back to 50 years ago. When Oop North in winter was like an Avalanche of Snow, your fingers froze just holding the Pegs.😂💨🌬⛄⛄⛄

[Kittykat2]

Yes a good reminder of winters up north when snow really was that deep.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Tha's not that gormless.

[MoyB]

Brrr! Made me feel cold this morning, Don! Not looking forward to winter if it's going to be like that. xx Moy

[Shirleyj]

😊😊😊x

[Dubba61]

Hahaha. True though! I get the Washing on the line, if at all possible. N don't own a Tumble dryer. Too expensive for a Northern Lass. 😀🌻👍

[Izb1]

Oh! Don you are so funny, its not just the poem but peoples comments that me laugh and being a northern lass can relate x

[Hidden]

It wouldn't work if people didn't respond. It's the feed-back that keeps me going. What a lovely bunch of folk we have here.

[Lyd12]

I came across that photo some time ago, nice to see it again. I've just pegged out my washing, bit fresh out there today but fortunately not that bad! Could it be we southerners have more sense!!

[Hidden in reply to Lyd12]

There's a number of different versions out there on the net. I hope nobody thought I was implying I had taken it. I think it said it was taken in Iceland. Certainly wasn't Tesco or Morrisons. Southerners might well have more sense, they definitely have less snow.

[hoping2improve]

Brilliant. Us southeners just stay in lol
