A wrüg nebonan gara aga harr war an treth? A veu va neyjys dhe ves war an mortîd?    There's not a great deal of action in my narrow life. My domestic stage is peaceful, apart from one small, hyperactive child, who is rather clumsy and accident-prone! However, there's a lot of activity on the world stage. There are politicians ready to disgrace themselves! It seems to me there is more wisdom in Penzance Mazey Day than in London. There are accidents in Cornwall too. Did someone leave their car on the beach? Was it floated away
