Living on a small island off the west coast of Scotland, our weather
blows in straight off 3000 miles of Atlantic ocean. I probably live in
the cloudiest windiest wettest (summer AND winter)climate of any rfc
posters. But I can still dry most of the laundry outdoors all year
round.

I am pretty much surrounded by conifer forests; but their pollen is
never a problem on the washing.

Plus I'm on the coast, LOTS of seagulls; and I feed hundreds of birds
in the garden. But it's very rare indeed for any bird poop to land on
the laundry.
