Well, what a surprise… we went to Bath, a lovely and historic city for a pleasant visit, maybe a coffee and a numnum. maybe some lunch, maybe buy a few somethings in some shops.. and instead we entered a wonderful place!
This installation which first appeared in 2016, is called ‘Umbrella Street’ as you might imagine. Ir’s in St Lawrence Street and Southgate and also has a lawn beneath it which is patterned by the umbrellas shadows, and old red telephone boxes filled with flowers. Apparently there are a thousand umbrellas!
it is absolutely amazing! everyone was walking along, just grinning and smiling at it. There was such a lovely atmosphere! If by any chance you are anywhere near Bath, then do, do,do go and see it! I guarantee it will cheer you up and make you smile!
