There’s a chill in the air tonight and there will be mist on the water in the morning. Join me tonight as I answer some hard questions about how viability is a long term in the Erica on the canals? 

Journal entry:

21st September, Thursday

“For a short while this evening
 The crescent moon and the setting sun
 Shared the same length of skyline.
 A fiery bronze heart and the ghost of bone.

Then a robin sings as rain drops fall.
 Here is tranquillity and peace.
 The horned moon
 And evensong among the patter
 Of elder leaves.”  

Episode Information:

In this episode I answer the following listener’s questions:

 Have we burnt our bridges?What do we do about dentists and GPs?How will the funding cuts affect us?
