I've written about this sacred "Fat Tuesday" before, you can get details here. This is the bun "we" traditionally eat today (and many other days after new years eve). The bun has, according to the bakeries saved the business, filling the gap after Christmas and the weeks of poverty in January.

Nearly all snow is now gone -again. There might well be more snow coming but daytime temperatures are now constantly over zero so any snow arriving won't stay for long. The birds has also clearly started singing with a purpose and there is a definite feeling of change in the air.
