It’s raining again today. Well, this is England after all.
While I like a smattering of rain and the red wine/wood-fire vibe it sends out, the sea of black umbrellas on the way to work does little to lift my spirits.
On occasion I have spotted some truly excellent brollies including an aerodynamic version that I’m sure comes into its own during a bout of horizontal rain and wind. But in general a wet winter’s day is one very gloomy shade of grey.
However, just imagine if everyone had a colourful umbrella. Birds would look down and think the city had been sprinkled with confetti!
Now that would lighten my mood on even the bleakest of days.
