It’s an August Bank Holiday Monday in Britain – and tradition has it that it’s normally a bit grey and rainy!
As someone with Celtic heritage who is married to a Cumbrian, I actually quite like a drizzly day. I’d have to: family holidays in Ireland, annual visits to the Lake District and much-loved trips to my favourite cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh are often rain-filled affairs. Also, although our part of Essex is generally quite dry, the big, Constablesque skies we have mean that when the weather isn’t so sunny you are often treated to panoramic views of stunning slate grey.
So, let’s celebrate the rain and embrace those cosy grey days with my pick of shower-themed homewares…
