I did a quick look around online just now, Brenda, and this was the closest I could find to John’s in the photo. It’s called an Edwardian parasol on this website:
For some reason, I really love umbrellas. Not quite sure why. Maybe it was playing Mary Poppins a few too many times as a child (I really thought if I just jumped high enough, I'd be able to fly like she did!). Or maybe it's from living my whole life in the Seattle, Washington area and seeing more than enough rain to last a lifetime (although, honestly, true born-and-bred Seattlites don't even carry umbrellas very often). Well, whatever the reason, I often find myself drawn to pictures of umbrellas. So I guess this blog is my attempt to satisify my personal obsession. Basically it'll be "one stop" umbrella browsing. :-)
What kind of brollie is that held by John? I like the shape, I would like one.
