Duck Down

Adjacent to South Drain, Edington Road, Burtle with The Duck pub on the far left of the image. I loved the way the low clouds lay across the landscape like a beautiful fluffy, downy quilt and with the light across the scene it made me think of nights under the covers of my bed with a torch on reading as a child. I may not need a torch now but I still read at night before I go to sleep.

I have added 'Clouds by Newton Faulkner as a link

But given the whimsical touch and memories I could not resist adding John Denver's

Grandma's Feather Bed
