In England,
Go into the garden at dawn. Stand facing the newly rising sun.
That direction is East - (from your garden.)
At twelve stand facing the sun.  That's South.
At twilight stand facing the sun.  That's West.
Don't get up at midnight to look for North because the sun doesn't go that
far in direction (pertaining to your  garden.)
The height of the sun's arc at mid-say will be the highest of the day but
will be higher in summer and lower in winter.
