On a dark night that is damp with an autumnal chill, join us as tonight I answer some of the questions posed by the listeners of this podcast which range from the decisions and motivations behind our choice to live afloat to canal etiquette. 

Journal entry:

 14th September, Thursday

“Thin drizzle.
 The jackdaws sound like
 Monosyllabic gulls this evening.
 Woundwort heals the breach between
 The canal and me.
 Red berries.
 Some days that is all you need:
 Rain and red berries.”

Episode Information:

In this episode I refer to Jim Batty’s book Narrowboat Life published in 2016 by Adlard Coles. I also mention Peter Warnett and Alan Thornhills’ The Three Mile Man published in 1980 by Harper Collins.
