This has been rather an unexpected and eventful week. This is a special episode where we welcome a board a new fellow traveller (along the canals and through life). Journal entry:  30th June, Friday “Endless motorways. Endless traffic.  Red lights all the way.  A frightened face and soulful eyes.  I sit on the stairs out of sight; out of the way. A short drizzle of rain.  The smell of hay in fields.  Sitting as darkness falls,  My arm is licked by a new friend." Episode Information: Photographs of Maggie can be found on the podcast’s website: noswpod.com. In this episode, I mention this episode from Heidi’s narrowboat vlog: The Narrowboat Pirate. For those experiencing pet bereavement you might find an earlier episode of this podcast helpful: ‘No Small Gift’. With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.
