Brollies, Breeches and Balls.
So we’ve finally hit the summer solstice…not that many
people would have noticed with the recent weather sadly. Even those in the umbrella trade are hoping
for at least some sunshine this year.
One of the guys from the office took some time out to head
to Royal Ascot this week and, being a gambling man, decided to leave his brolly
at home…he got lucky with the weather but not the horses apparently. We girls were of course more interested in
the fashions than the racing and soon found ourselves pouring over the pictures
looking for fashion mistakes…amazing how many people look wonderful in their
finery…then let themselves down with a clashing brolly!! It seems such a shame to let the elements get
to all your finery.
One person who always looked wonderful at Royal Ascot was
Her Majesty The Queen. Her love of horse
racing is very well documented but the pictures showed her wonderful,
unreserved joy as Estimate won the Ascot Gold Cup. Just one more race on Her Majesty’s wish list
now….the Epsom Derby. Good luck Ma’am.
No sooner has the social event of the racing calendar
finished, we move onto the event most of us proud Scots are looking forward to
this year….Wimbledon.
Can our man Murray finally win in SW19? We certainly hope so
in the office. Our boss is a huge tennis
fan and we are all hoping Murray does well as she can be a moody mare if he
doesn’t!! ha ha.
We have been wracking our brains of late trying to think of
a Wimbledon promotion and we have one or two in mind, be sure to pop back and
check our blog during the SW19 tournament to check up on promotions and
competitions. www.TheUmbrellaShop.co.uk
