"Black over Bill's mother's" is a local saying. I have no idea who Bill was, or why we should be interested in his mother. But it's what someone says when they see a very black cloud hanging in the sky.
Well this sky is very black, and It may have hung over someone's mother. But it also hung above our house, and a deluge followed.
Do not matter wath they say or who Bill was, good job, nice silhouette and wonderful sky

ReplyDeleteI think the Bill in question is William Shakespeare. He was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon. If you see clouds coming from that direction, you're in for some bad weather.
Or so I've heard. It's just a theory, anyway.
