We are back! Spring sunshine and showers are transforming the fields and the canal and it is wonderful to be behind the microphone once again!
The roof of a narrowboat can acts as a special extra room offering you panoramic views of a world of thee worlds. Why not climb up here and join us up on the roof of the Erica to enjoy rook play and the approach of a thunderstorm.
This episode is dedicated especially to Stu and Vania.
Journal entry:
10th May, Wednesday
“A game of Pooh-sticks and listening for the train.
The level-crossing gate feels warm in the sun.
The ground is spongy with rainfall and forget-me-not.
Rumours of thunder to the west.
Water dropwort and young leaf
The minglings of sunlight and water.
Chiffchaffs’ scissoring notes.
Erica among the bluebells.”
Episode Information:
All sound recordings for this episode were recorded canal-side in April and May 2023.
