My Basil Bangs Sun Umbrella is out! Finally...

Just before Christmas I was the lucky winner of a beautiful, highly colourful and fun, Basil Bangs Mi Casa Su Casa Sun Umbrella, thanks to one of Safari Living Facebook competitions. So thrilled! First, I never win anything... second, what an amazing product! This is a serious beach umbrella, so well made, robust, big and bright! I just love it, it's perfect! 
So finally I've made it to the beach today and proudly showed off the cheerful chevron pattern... 

Settling down around 6pm (it was a 38C day...)
