This weekend the clocks change (in the UK). These small markers in our calendars can touch us in deep ways. Join me tonight as we stop the clock, step out of time, and savour together the unspent, untouched hour as the world around us sleeps on.  

Journal entry:

28th October, Friday

“Wild winds race ragged
 As starlings sport and shoal.

Golden leaves, sherry warm,
 Stream head height across the canal.
 A flash of brave blue. A kingfisher
 Swims the leafy cataracts of air.”

Episode Information:

In this episode I read a couple of short extracts from Susan Hill’s (1983) The Magic Apple Tree published by Penguin Books. 

Photographs of the clock I used to wind and the words for ‘Today I held back time’ can be found on the nowspod.com website.
