What&#39;s even weirder is the fact that we (my family) were the only people in town who called it that. Let&#39;s face it, we&#39;re weird.<br /><br />Looks like rain.SparkleFarklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07354679950013636478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191732056240004567.post-48673472196586401652009-09-26T21:26:47.582+02:002009-09-26T21:26:47.582+02:00Love the postcard, marie!

And to the comment by CALIMYRNA MOON, Brolly is definately a British term, we Brits never leave the house without our brollies, but I prefer bumbershoot XThe Vintage Kittenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888446870064459049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191732056240004567.post-47511029823552218942009-09-26T15:20:11.193+02:002009-09-26T15:20:11.193+02:00Incredible! I always thought bumbershoot was English slang and never until today heard that it was an Americanism. Glad to learn another fascinating fact, Marie. We can, however, give &#39;brolly&#39; to the Brits.
