This episode is especially for our youngest regular listener to the podcast, Rory, who had her 6th birthday a couple of weeks ago. So tonight, we explore the narrowboat Erica and what it is like to live on a boat, and then, especially for Rory listen to a story about another little girl who met some rather strange and wonderful people.
Journal entry:
29th September, Thursday.
“The reservoir is grey and slabby today,
Crests form on wavelets the colour of old ice.
Ghosting veils of low cloud sweep mizzly rain
On a wind that lifts the gulls and redeems my world
With their cries.”
Episode Information:
This episode is dedicated to Rory Braso (aged 6) who lives in Massachusetts, USA – and, of course, her dad, MJ.
