In this episode we talk about our ultimate dream journeys — the physical ones and the inner ones that change how we live. Rich explores the idea of going minimalist with tech: what would we really keep if we stripped everything back to essentials?

Meanwhile, Fran takes us back to her childhood, reminiscing about wandering around London alone at just ten years old.

In this episode we talk of the gentle start to the day and how it set the tone for the morning. Rich shares his thoughts (and frustrations) about the greenwashing surrounding solar farms, while Fran catches us up on a very busy week of weaving ahead of an upcoming Christmas fair.

We also share a few podcasts we’ve been enjoying recently, and of course, Archie the spaniel makes an appearance in his usual slightly grumpy way.

We start with a particularly sharp jar of pickled onions and quickly move into reminiscing about our childhood food traditions and the performance of Sunday Tea and memorable family dishes. We talk about World Television Day and the move from three fixed channels to democratized, on-demand viewing. We also check in on the allotment after the season's first major frost, exploring the rapid shift in the garden and our struggles with the 'no-dig' approach. Finally, we challenge ourselves with a taste test of some preserved goods, including pickled nasturtium seeds.

This week on Floating Our Boat, we drift through all sorts of topics: the mighty River Severn, the magic of winter murmurations, Fran’s well-deserved moan about Black Friday, Rich’s fascination with Samuel Pepys’ diary, a chat about climate change, and a slightly ridiculous musical quiz that puts Fran’s knowledge to the test.

Join us for a ramble through our award-winning allotment garden's woes, wins and beyond. We have a good moan about the F-word (and social media), and discuss everything from canal water shortages to our struggle with mosquitos and this year's hot, hot summer. We’ll also be sharing what we're reading now and how many books we’ve managed to get through this year, or not.
