Hello Dear Ones,

I love parasols. They’re great to carry just to keep the sun off your face.

In the 1800s, they were quite popular because the ladies wanted to keep their complexions soft and pale. Their parasols would provide shade from direct sunlight. You’ll often see Victorian women holding stunning parasols in paintings. Dignitaries and royalty were also protected by them.

And people love them! Whenever I’m out walking with my parasol, people often comment when they see me. “Oh, I love your umbrella,” they usually say. They’re not sure what to call it.

I prefer to carry the smaller ones that measure about 21 inches, but they’re difficult to find. Have you found any parasols where you live? The next time you take a walk on a lovely day, bring a parasol and watch how many smiles you’ll see on your way.

Affirm: What a great adventure life is!

All is well!

Louise
