An Advent on the Canal

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


As advent candles burn into their second half, and berries blaze along the towpath, why not join us tonight aboard the Erica to hear about what it feels like to experience this advent on the cut. 


Journal entry:


8th December, Monday


“A ragged river of rooks
 Stream across
 A watery sky
 On purposeful wings.


They rise and circle
 Around the One Oak.
 The fire of their
 Jubilant chatter
 Warms the day.”


With special thanks to our lock-wheelers (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1378432/su...) for supporting this podcast.
