Bank Holiday here tomorrow, a brand new one. 1st February here is "St. Brigid's Day". The Christian Church, in ancient times, sort of adopted/co-opted the old feast of Imbolc, a fertility and renewal feast, marking the first day of Spring, the return of light, and the hope of provision in this leanest time of year.
Rather nice to have a Bank Holiday in the long gap between New Year and St. Patrick's Day!?
