"Bohes venow," nei a worrebas ,"Darvos nojejek ew!" An diwettha termyn o diw mil ha deg, my a grej. Two women came today to view our house. Would they like to buy our house? Who knows? But now I am exhausted. This will be a very brief blog. The mother sold her house in cold Scotland. Now she wants something in warm Cornwall. "Is there snow in Cornwall?" she would like to know. "Rarely," we replied. "It's a notable event!" The last time was 2010, I believe. Deg ger rag hedhyw Ten words for today   berr short bohes venow rarely, not often darvos

In the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro you can see ingots of tin. Tin is too weak to be used all alone - but together with other metals it makes wonderful alloys. They are popular with artists and craftsmen. The bronze dogs in Redruth are formed like discarded miners' wellingtons. And I espied a different dog in a ta

There is only one word - grey! The sky is cloudy and the air if full of rain, like mist. The ground is wet. Nobody would want to see a landscape photo now. We ate a good dinner in Blackwater with my two sisters-in-law, but I never take photos of my food and Blackwater has no dramatic scenery. Friday was different from today. Su

Sometimes I see something in the distance and I want to ask, "What is that?". This map is useful. From our son's house, near Penryn railway station, we can see gravestones on a hillside. That should be the "Glebe" Cemetery, perhaps. (Glebe is an English word.) There are many sailing boats on the water too. From Falmouth yesterday we could see (I think) Trevissome Ho
