A bella umbrella at Dorothy Perkins

Stop this rain now. And the snow. And the hail. And every other sort of silly weather too. It's getting really boring.

On a brighter note, Dorothy Perkins have a great range of umbrellas at the moment to help you start singing and dancing in the rain.

By far my favourite is this polka-dot number. Polka-dots are scientifically proven to cheer you up on a grey day (well, works for me anyway). Plus, the striking yellow and black colour scheme gives it a really retro look and will help you pretend you're a 60s dolly with your brolly.

On a more practical note, the big dome will keep you extra dry and it looks likes it's not going to blow inside out at the slightest gust of wind.

Even more cheery is the price of just £10, meaning you can save your money for another rainy day.
