Nighttime on Still Waters episodes

  • Under the ghost of a Harvest Moon

    Send us Fan Mail

    A week of serious problems with our internet has meant that I have been unable to record the episode answering listeners’ questions. However, join us tonight to enjoy a special meeting under the ‘ghost’ of a harvest moon. 

    Journal entry:

     29th September, Friday

    “Early this morning,
     We met the swan slipping
     Light upon the night-time mists.

    Behind us,
     Cows stood knee deep
     in milk- white meadows.

    This is the stillness that falls
     After the storm.”

    Episode Information:

    In this episode I read a section from Neil Young’s Harvest Moon published in 1992 by Big Deal Music.

    I also read poems 137 and 42 by Ryokan from The Zen Fool Ryokan by Misao Kodama and Hikosaku Yanagishima published in 199 by Charles E Tuttle. 

    I also read a short passage from Eido Frances Carey’s biography Kakurenbo published 2013 in by Temple Ground Press.

    You can find Vanessa and Zephyr on The Mindful Narrowboat vlog.

  • Uncertain Futures (Listeners' questions - 2)

    Send us Fan Mail

    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?

    Send us Fan Mail

    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.

    Journal entry:

     6th September, Wednesday

    “This evening
     The wool of traveller’s joy has caught afire
     With the westward
     Apricot sun.
     
     And look at how the nettles glow
     Translucent with the touch
     Of unspeakable wonder.”

  • Roots do not hold you down (Hedge wisdom)

    Send us Fan Mail

    The hedges are ablaze with colour and they call to us of lessons that we have long forgotten. 

    Journal entry:

    2nd September, Saturday
    “At the edgings of the day.
     A delinquent V of geese
     Transect a sinking sun.
     As they reappear
     Another flight has joined them.
     They continue in a loose straggle
     North.

    A cool whisper of air
     As we round the base of the hill.
     Distant voices float across the water.
     As the sun sinks below the west
     The chant of jackdaws.”

    Episode Information:

    In this episode I read extracts from:
    Tristan Gooley’s (2018) Wild Signs and Star Pathspublished by Hodder & Stoughton.
    Sharon Blackie’s (2018) The Enchanted Life published by September Publishing.
    William Carleton (1830) The Hedge School open access text.

  • As long as the rain talks (I will listen)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Rain has a quality to touch us both physically and emotionally. Thomas Merton and Tristan Gooley are two very different people, but both offer insights into the language of rain and what we can learn through listening to it. 

    Journal entry:

    24th August, Thursday 

    "We drop down the hill
     To field-edge and thistledown smoke.
     A moorhen scatters at our approach
     Leaving only a fading trace in the water.
     Maggie methodically sniffs the undergrowth
     While I search for gold in the clouds.
     A bee crawls into a hole in the bank.
     Evening."

    Episode Information:

    In this episode I read extracts from:
    Elizabeth-Jane Burnett’s (2023) article ‘It’s a pause between seasons as the skylarks fall silent’.
    Thomas Merton’s (2003/2015) When the Trees Say Nothing  published by Ave Maria Press.

    Tonight, we celebrate and enjoy a special August evening at the moorings, filled with golden light, gentle chatter, a rolling wind, duck call and church bells. A rare ‘August-coloured’ evening. 

    Journal entry:

    15th August, Tuesday

    “Chasing clouds and sunshine.
     The ground still wet from yesterday's rain
     We walk the loop, Maggie reacquainting herself
     With familiar places.
     Me too. It seems a while.
     It's good to be out again.
     The air smells green and fresh."

    What was it really like to live on board a 30ft canal boat in the late 1950s before there were such things as service points and fully equipped marinas?
    This week we continue with ‘The Kathy Chronicles’ where Mum describes how they began to settle into life afloat, whilst making extensive alterations, as well their plans for the arrival of a new baby. She provides a fascinating picture of the realities of what it was like to live-aboard a canal boat in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
