Send us a textJoin us on a quiet night of summer rain as we listen to rooks and explore the beauty and ambiguities of two liminal places with a lot in common. We learn about the web-footed fenmen and are guided by Luke Sherlock to a ruined church under haunting skies.   Journal entry:6th June, Friday“We walk through the sheep field As the rain pours down. My boot socks still wet from last night. The rooks muster noisily at the One Oak.Even the magpies' cackles cannot wake The lambs still asleep Nestled beneath the blackthorn hedge.” Episode Information:In this episode I read Edward Storey's ‘You walk the roof of the world here' and Jeff Moore's ‘The worked land.' I also read an extract from Luke Sherlock's Forgotten Churches published by Quarto and refer to Adam Porter's podcast ‘The Water Road'More information about the campaign for a flag for the fens can be found here: Flag of the Fens.With special thanks to our lock-wheelers:Susan BakerMind Shambles Clare Hollingsworth Kevin B. Fleur and David Mcloughlin Lois Raphael Tania Yorgey Andrea Hansen Chris Hinds David Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textWelcome to tonight's episode where ‘Erica's Place' by Mindshambles awakens a kaleidoscope of reminiscences about Mum and ‘elevensies' and her never ending supply of fresh scones. As the different memories flow and glide past, it slowly becomes clear how much of ‘Erica's place' and Mum's philosophy still lives on and unconsciously shapes these podcasts. Welcome to Erica's place.   Journal entry:20th May, Tuesday“The yellow flag are out. Unfolding the origami of their petals From the squashed chrysalis of their buds.Yellow iris arrives flat-packed To be assembled without sound Held only by a dance of air and light.”  Episode Information:In this episode I read the first verse of John Betjeman's ‘Upper Lambourne' and a short extract from Miles Hadfield's (1950) An English Almanac. I also read ‘Erica's Place' by Mindshambles (2025)With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Susan BakerMind Shambles Clare Hollingsworth Gabriela Maria Rodriguez-Veinotte Kevin B. Fleur and David Mcloughlin Lois Raphael Tania Yorgey Andrea Hansen Chris Hinds David Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textTonight, clouds build as the high pressure breaks. Speculative gusts of wind kick blackthorn blossom ghostly white along the towpath and the full moon seeps heavy and watery through a blanket of cloud. Join us tonight as we continue hearing Mum's account of a risk that was totally worth taking.     Journal entry:7th April, Monday“Warm snowflakes Of blackthorn float and drift Along the towpath Among cowslip yellow And bluebell blue.The sheep are loathe To move, preferring to lie On the grass White with night frost, Enjoying the heat Of the sun On their backs.” Episode Information:In this episode I read:‘Blackthorn Blossom' by John Bond‘Young lambs' by John ClareIn the thumbnail photograph, Mum and Dad are the couple facing each other and closest to the camers.

Send us a textAlong the towpath, the battle between winter and spring has begun with days of warmth and days of sleet. Although even the young ducks teach us a lesson in conflict avoidance. Join us tonight as we celebrate the lives of two people who were central to the creation of Nighttime on Still Waters.      Journal entry:12th March, Wednesday.“The day winds down.A last walk along the canal side.Pebbled rings form in the open water.A kick of sleetDrives against my face.Captivated by the golden sunShining through rain mist.Such unimagined golds.Behind meA pale rainbowBows and fades to such majesty.” Episode Information:This episode is dedicated to the memory to two people without whom this podcast would not have been created: Michael Goode and Clifford DeHaven. Among many things, Clifford was a great musician. One of his musical incarnations was as 'Mournful Hornet' which seemed to capture his offbeat character and heart. You can hear him on SoundCloud. I also read the words of Meg Kara (Poetic Meg). With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Gabriela Maria Rodriguez-VeinotteKevin B.Fleur and David McloughlinLois RaphaelTania YorgeyAndrea HansenChris HindsDavid DiromChris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textAlong the towpath winter slowly fades. If we are not quite in spring yet, we can feel it close at hand. Join us tonight as we celebrate the shifts in light and tone across the landscape and from deep within.       Journal entry: 26th February, Wednesday“For me, there are few things more beautiful and soul inspiring than this:       Rain on water,       Old growth by the waterside,       Time-bleached reeds       Standing like Nepalese prayer flags.       The song of home.       Signals of transcendence.”Episode Information:In this episode I read following poems:‘Winter' by Frank Mansell ‘XXXIV' by Idris Davies (adapted by Max Boyce ‘When we walked to Merthyr Tydfil')I also read excerpts from Book of Seasons by William Howitt (1833) and The Golden Age by Kenneth Grahame (1895). I also refer to the 1973 BBC Play for Today ‘Shakespeare or Bust' which can be viewed on YouTube.  With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Kevin B. Fleur and David Mcloughlin Lois Raphael Tania Yorgey Andrea Hansen Chris Hinds David Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textA winter's night on the canal, starless and wind gnawed. A snug cabin with a warm stove. A hot drink in a favourite mug (and a biscuit or two). A cosy chair waiting for you. It's just the perfect kind of night to curl up and listen to some accounts about life on the canals in winters past, when the ice was 2ft 6in deep.      Journal entry:14th February, Friday "Steel-grey half-light. Rooks swing round the naked oaks. The daily clamour of heading for home; Roosting time.Their exuberant crow song And sense of life Fill me with a nameless emotion.It's something about A longing for home."Episode Information:The two readings featured in this episode are: ‘The Great Frost of 1895' by Monica Bennett and ‘Day of the ‘Iceberg' by Ron Whatley. They both can be found in Up the Cut: An anthology of inland waterways edited by Ivan E Broadhead, published in 1994 by Alan Sutton Publishing.   With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Kevin B.Fleur and David McloughlinLois RaphaelSami WalburyTania YorgeyAndrea HansenChris HindsDavid DiromChris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textIt's a bitingly cold, sleety night. There's a warning of snow in the forecast for later. It's a perfect night to sit together around a warm stove snug inside the Erica's cabin, while the wild world rages outside. The kettle is singing, the biscuit barrel is full. The night belongs to us.    Journal entry:7th February, Friday.“Yesterday's spectacular Blood-orange dawn Has given way to a dawn Without colour or feeling.We pick our way between Rutted potholes of slippery mud To the Magpie's scalding laugh.A wicked wind cuts In from the north-east And reminds me that I am, After all, an embodied being.”Episode Information:In this episode I read ‘Where does Comfort's Bosom Glow?' by John Clare from his Madrigals and Chronicles: Being newly found poems and ‘The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy (1900). I also quote from William Blake's (1796/7) The Four Zoas (Night the Second). With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Kevin B. Fleur and David Mcloughlin Lois Raphael Sami Walbury Tania Yorgey Andrea Hansen Chris Hinds David Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textThere seems to be an awful of change happening recently, often unasked and with far-reaching consequences. Knowing how to deal with it can be difficult and lead us to feeling unbalanced and overwhelmed. Tonight, we try to find some still-points within the chaos.  Journal entry:23rd January, Thursday“A robin, one winter, Riding out a sleety squall On the flailing branch Of pyracantha fire.He often springs to mind When squalls hit And my world lurches Fearfully beneath me.I wish for his poise And his ability to find And surf upon the Still-point of chaos.”Episode Information:In this episode, I talk about Orange Cookie's beautiful ‘Still Waters and Nighttime Bats' tea towel that is inspired by this podcast. You can view this and her other designs at Spoonflower. I also read a very short extract from The Monk and the Butterfly by Kai T.

I was very happy to get Emmie on the podcast as like many of you (fellow Tottenham enthusiasts) I have followed her wonderful art journey over the last 4ish years. You can tell her unease discussing herself and then Emmie's enthusiasm when talking about Tottenham or the art itself. I am clearly clueless about narrow boats but weren't we told that there are no stupid questions?! As we Tik Tok Fans know "we listen and we don't judge".Wishing Emmie, Stu and all of you a healthy, peaceful and joyful new year with many adventures xEmmie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmiejoannadrawsEmmie's website: https://www.emmiejoanna.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@bobbing_along/featuredGo buy her calendar!..........................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/

In tonight's episode we meet a couple of beautiful spring flowers with some fearsome reputations and go about spring cleaning a very messy and cluttered boat with the help of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows.Journal entry:8th May, Wednesday.“A May evening of golden haze And drifting willow down And the busy day winds down.Nearby, lambs call as mothers graze and nuzzle Beyond them, chiff-chaff, robin, and bluetit. Further distant, the sound of children playing. Beyond that a dog barks and another answers. Further still a train clatters over some points.Encircled by ever increasing concentric rings of soundscapes That pin me to the epicentre of this May evening of golden haze." Episode Information:Karen and Jason made a video of their time on NB Sam's Drum.

This time...we talk about old bank notes, the Bank of England and the Stock Exchange. The UK appears to now be a coffee culture over tea.We talk about moving to other countries and learning the language. We love a stay in a "pub with rooms" but notice young people come down to hotel breakfasts with their bags and coats on. What's that all about?Mixtapes and owning music... with the rise of online music... Nick realises that we don't actually own our own music anymore... its quite sad... but equally... quite efficient!We talk the rent culture and how the UK is all about owning, whereas European cities are filled with renters. That gets us onto the annoyance of Brexit (something we've avoided discussing before!)Finally... Andy makes a great recommendation that you tune in to a wonderful Youtuber "The Narrowboat Pirate".

This week we met up with our new friends Jack & Gabby from @thistiny.life who have lived in their tiny 56ft x 6ft floating home, for over three years. So before we head off backpacking next month, we drove Jits to Oxfordshire to find out what life of a narrowboat is like. It was Adam's first time on a canal boat and my second and we both absolutely loved it! Could this be the perfect alternative to van life? Since Jack and Gabby are passionate about sustainability, they have recently bought a new boat which they are converting into a fully electric, off-grid eco home. Here is a summary of the topics we cover: An introduction to narrowboats The appeals to living on a narrowboat Costs of living on a narrowboat Downsides to living this lifestyle Slow travel, life mantras & mindset Connect with and support Jack and Gabby on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thistiny.life/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thistinylife Website : https://thistiny.life/
