Love this! Laundry is low-hanging fruit from a sustainability point of view. I have eliminated all single-use plastic from my laundry room and I hang my laundry to dry whenever possible. If the neighbours don’t like my clothesline, too bad! They can continue to complain about their electricity bills, then.

Haha. I agree. Lower electricity bills for the win!

Ahh I love this time of year in the UK where the sun starts making an appearance. I find hanging the laundry out so therapeutic. It’s ten minutes of time where I can have peace and quiet, enjoy the fresh air and hear the birds sing whilst doing a monotonous chore that I’ve been stuck doing inside for the previous part of the year. I’m looking for some homemade laundry detergent recipes, so I can make something more eco but affordable. Do you know if any good ones? I have three children so I need something that actually works 😩

So glad to hear that you enjoy this! I've heard really mixed reviews about homemade laundry detergent. Some say it works and others say it doesn't. I haven't ever tried it so I can't recommend anything with certainty that it works. Is there a reason you want homemade? In other words, is there something specific you can't find in store bough alternatives?
