Are you feeling comfortable?

The Castle of Comfort. Just along from East Harptree.

This is a pub I’ve driven past many times but never stopped at until recently. It’s located on what I sometimes refer to as the Mendip Motorway. This fast straight road from Burrington to Wells can encourage a few boy racers.The unusual name is said to have come from the Inn at the time being an overnight stopping point for prisoners heading to the gallows many years ago. A comfortable last night?I picked a good July evening to paint, the sun setting slowly, and the last few streaks of light playing with the flowers in the hedgerow.
