Outdoor Umbrellas, anyone?

It’s almost summer and you know what that means! Meals out on your deck and outdoor BBQs, of course!
And this is our outdoor umbrella. We have searched high and low for this. MrG and I didn’t want an umbrella that you stick in the middle as we found that this blocks our view of our friends and family members during our conversations over our meals.
What I like about this is because the umbrella is quite big, the reach is quite wide as well and you can move the umbrella depending on where the sun is or sometimes we point it out on the lawn where we spread a lounge chair under it so I can….lounge about! LOL Very relaxing indeed!
What I don’t like about this umbrella though is that I feel that it could get swept any minute when there’s even a slight breeze outside. We were told to keep it secure, we should fill its base with water but we found in one of our meals on our outdoor table, the outdoor umbrella wasn’t that secure even with its base filled with water. So, we only use this on days when the sun is shining but the breeze isn’t that strong.
