As soon as they rain starts the fake designer handbags all disappear and you can buy an umbrella on every corner and every bridge!<br /><br />Mind you, when the rain stops again you quite often see these umbrellas broken and discarded in bins, so I guess that - like the handbags - they are probably not of the highest quality.<br /><br />But it all adds to the gaiety of nations does it not!Weekend Yachtsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262853091154005651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-25736928418257107152013-03-20T00:12:08.878+01:002013-03-20T00:12:08.878+01:00Mre too, Liz.

I usually have a Dollar Tree umbrella in my car for unexpected storms. I consider them "throw aways" and don't feel too bad when I lose one. Of course, if there's a slight breeze they immediately turn inside out. I guess they sell umbrellas at the supermarket here but usually places like Target and Walmart put them out in an aisle by the door when it rains. I've just never noticed them at the supermarket.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068151073417372746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-19665516707179364242013-03-14T22:51:26.616+01:002013-03-14T22:51:26.616+01:00The thought of umbrellas and windy days makes me s...The thought of umbrellas and windy days makes me smile.<br /><br />It is lovely to Simi again.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.com
