Wrapped in Freezing Fog
Manage episode 460712642 series 2800955
Join us aboard the Erica, as we sit around the stove on a raw night of ice and freezing fog. Tonight, we reflect on boat (and other) life in the times of hard frost, the trials of swan and kingfisher life, and we finish with a short reading from Tom Rolt.
Journal entry:
9th January, Thursday
“The shatter of January light
On fractured ice.
The smouldering
Of fallen leaves
Frozen into the ringing silence
Of stilled waters.”
Episode Information:
In this episode I read an extract from Sue Wilkes’ (2011) Tracing your Canal Ancestors: A guide for family historians published by Pen and Sword.
The episode concludes with a very short extract from LTC (Tom) Rolt’s (1944) Narrow Boat now re-published for its 70th anniversary in 2014 by History Press.
The sounds of ice were recorded on the Erica in February 2021.
