Not only is it hard to believe there is a National Umbrella Day it is with great shame that we have to admit that despite being called Umbrella we were completely unaware of it until it was almost over.

In researching Umbrella Day we also discovered that Umbrella was the large Corporation in the movie “Resident Evil”. Purely coincidental!

What is Umbrella Day?

On Umbrella Day we are supposed to recognise the great invention that is the UMBRELLA.

An umbrella is designed to protect you from the elements. Mainly rain but also the sun, wind and snow. The Victorians regularly used umbrellas but it was Samuel Fox, in 1852, who invented the steel ribbed umbrella that we all use today although steel ribbed umbrellas had been around earlier in the 18^th Century.

On National Umbrella day we are all supposed to take an umbrella wherever we go.

One of the things about an umbrella is you don’t always know when you need one and they’re easily lost.
