Mike,
It would be fair to tell us which week, so that tourists would know when
to avoid the "aulde countrie" when scheduling visits.

Somehow I've lost the connection to the moving shadow edge.  Except
for...

The only vehicular direction that seems to relate to the edge of the
moving shadow is "traffic flow" around a roundabout.
In those countries where the steering wheel is on the sinister side
folks would round around the roundabout in a clockwise or dialwise
direction.  I.e., the left hand rule applies so that the thumb is up!
On the other hand, right side steering wheeled carriages usually turn
counterdialwise or antidialwise around the roundabout and the right hand
rule rules.  As in Britannia.  I think that I have the hands, rotations
and rules right, right?

Knighty Knight,
