Granny's linen cupboard

Granny was a great housekeeper and cook.  I've been thinking about house management tools and tips a lot lately, and remember Mum saying that when Granny had truly run out of jobs to do, she would refold and straighten everything in the linen cupboard. I wonder if I'll ever be that far ahead?

I know that Granny had a strange washing machine (twin tub?) and we used to use a long stick to push clothes under the water.  She hung her peg basket on the line beside her as she pegged things out.  There were always lots of towels and beach things to launder during our Summer holidays in Ulverstone.
