Aha! Lo! One of the joys of the calendar this year is that we can celebrate Doris Day Day in Eastertide.

Hats are old hat. What you really need is a papal ombrellino to keep the snow off! Then you could wear a wooly hat under it which no one would notice because they’d all be so impressed by what you were carrying. Or maybe what the server was carrying for you.
