I'm sure the phrase is 'April showers', and correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not April! It may not have rained today in London, but I'm sure the next downpour is right around the corner, and this time I want to be prepared. I am done with the compact umbrellas that bend, break and turn inside out at the slightest gust of wind. At the other end of the spectrum you have the giant golf umbrellas, which are just too big to manage if you are under 7ft. One gust of wind and you are picked up and carried away. However, with this floral PVC 'Bubble Rose Cage' umbrella by Cath Kidston (£22), you'll be on pretty (and dry) middle ground.
