Hello! I am Richard
I live on a narrowboat somewhere on Britain's waterways from where I present a gentle podcast on the landscapes of water and night, for night-time listening.

*New episode* The slow drift into autumn is well underway and can be felt not so much by changing colours but through the rhythms and pulse beat of those who live alongside us. Join us tonight onboard the Erica to celebrate this gentle shift and we join Jeff Van Booven for a nightview in a hot and sultry Missouri. https://www.noswpod.com/autumn-drift/ #podcast #ukcanals #autumn #nature #poetry

It's #dawnchorusday so why not end it by enjoying a spectacular rendition of its counterpart, the dusk chorus?

Come and join us at our favorite mooring spot under the Forest of Arden's mysterious gaze and lose yourself in the majesty of the wild’s ancient evensong. A song in which every voice is welcome.

What was it about the Erica that helped us decide that she was the boat for us, particularly when there were many other possible contenders? Join us tonight as Jo Bell's brilliant book 'Boater' helps us to find some answers.

As we hunker down under Storm Dave you might well wonder where Spring has gone! This messiness of seasonal change emphasises the way we tend to think about life and the problems that arise when things don't fit into prescribed categories. The old idea of borrowing days helps us navigate this 'untidyness' in a a different way.

@Aspiedan@autistics.life Thank you and greeings! That's a wonderful selection of plants you've got on the grow. You're right! I had to look up tromboncini - what a strange looking thing! I bet the smell when you first open the tent in the morninng is amazing! Loathe as I am to say it, at this point, but I have seen a definite drop in the water levels here. We've had a bit of rain recently, but not much.

@kayaker2@mastodon.world We're very cosy and warm at the moment! Our boat is called Erica. They're quite a long way from us (in canal terms), so any possible fortuitous meetings won't be for quite a while.
