More about this scene
Perhaps it is Monday, for the washing is out, and from the nappies there seems to be a baby in the family. Without automatic machines, it was an all-day job; washing, rinsing, blueing and mangling, and then pegging out before the rain came. After that, the ironing still had to be done, usually the same evening whilst listening to the radio.
