I've got that winter feeling, a January feeling, one that's very familiar.
For a few years, I spent some time at Quintin Boat Club on the Thames by Chiswick bridge.
The club had an open fire, we would recover after a session by it.
This poem that I heard today reminded me of the feelings of January.
January by Henry Wadsworth
Janus am I; oldest of potentates; Forward I look, and backward, and below I count, as god of avenues and gates, The years that through my portals come and go. I block the roads, and drift the fields with snow; I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow, My fires light up the hearths and hearts of men.

Here’s today’s podcast and my reading of the poem.
