(March 28,2006 continued....) Returning to the topic of trees in this context it is no longer possible to imagine how dark King's Hill would be before dawn and light pollution. Judging from experience elsewhere it is not particularly difficult to move over open country at night, but movement under a deciduous wood, before the leaf fall in September and without lights is another matter. One therefore wonders whether the Wednesday after St. Micheal's and all Angels Feast correlates with moonlight; but that is not the case now and how the Roman calendar worked. One can imagine people assembling the evening before the court from their wooded manors and later going through some sort of parade in a relatively open spot shortly before dawn when one can see to move about and write charcoal notes.
