When David Came (Cruising the Cut)

Send us Fan MailThe Greek myths tell us that there are times when the gods come down from Olympus to walk amongst mortals. We had a very similar experience when, on a sunny day in late March, David Johns came to visit us and record an episode for his canal-based vlog Cruising the Cut.  Journal entry:11th May, Wednesday “The carp are spawning! May rain casting rings on thrashed water,  The flash of fin,       And a watery thunder            That rumbles along the side of the hull.I lie in the half-light of dawn,       Suspended above the silty jungles           Filled with so much life.”  Episode Information:Cruising the CutDavid Johns’ canal-based YouTube channel is Cruising the Cut.You can view David’s episode on Nighttime on Still Waters (via YouTube) here: 265.
