What’s on across the Isle this week?
Local school children. some wearing traditional headscarves and aprons, react to the starter bell in a pancake race on Shrove Tuesday, prior to the the main women's race, in Olney, England, Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Tradition records that back in 1445, on Shrove Tuesday, the "Shriving Bell" rang out to signal the start of the Shriving church service. On hearing the bell a local housewife, who had been busy cooking pancakes in anticipation of the beginning of Lent, ran to the church, frying pan still in hand, still in her apron and headscarf. The women of Olney recreate this race every Shrove Tuesday by running from the market place to the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. The winner is the first to cross the line having tossed the pancake a certain number of times. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham)
