The impression of remembered light

Send us Fan Mail It is a glorious summer’s night, but the canal is officially closed. Join us tonight, as we ponder over what this shutdown means for permanent liveaboards and the fragile ecosystem left behind. Plus, we playfully ask: does the canal miss us when we are gone? Journal entry: 6th August, Thursday “From here, the alders look black The sky behind them afire With the sun’s setting. Ducks swim through Clouds of baby pink The fish are rising. The water is warm around my toes And the tea has been drunk Long ago.” Episode Information: In this episode I read a very short extract from Tom Rolt’s Narrow Boat, and my ‘Sometimes the canal is silent.’ Listener, Lee Thomas from Colorado (USA), shares with us the view she has from her cabin high in the foothills of the Colorado Mountains.
