Time for Carnivale

The annual pre-Lent celebration is fast approaching, a bit late this year (since it is linked to Easter, also late) but a welcome relief from the winter cold and darkness.  The green, yellow, and red bunting and creepy masks are in all of the store windows, with larger decorations on the beer halls.  And, of course, the camel has resumed it’s place of honor atop the pole high above the streets of the Wyck.
