Nag ew pup tra teg. Shyndys  'veu ow crow gen oll an hager awel ha nebes taclow ew gossenys. Lies tra ew gleb ha pyndy.    The night was very windy, and now there are many catkins (lambs tails) on the lawn. Will there be lots of hazelnuts in the autumn? I like hazelnuts but, probably, they will be eaten by squirrels. I can't see the red female flowers on the tree, they're too small. I prefer to look at my primroses on the hillside. Not everything is beautiful. My shed was damaged by all the bad weather and some things have gone rusty. A lot of things are wet and mouldy. Gerva rag hedhyw  Vocab...

Na aljama mos en Truru hedhyw, saw da via genam gweles an rolyer eth gwir henwys Cita Truru! Patron ew hebma. Happy St Piran's Day to you all. The weather is not very good today - it's not good for processions. It rains. I couldn't go into Truro today, though I'd like to see the real steamroller called the City of Truro! This is a model.

Hedhyw, radn an eborn o cler ha blou, bes tûa'n west thera cloudys bian, pecar'a para deves. Mons ow trei co dhebm a neppeth. Ewa cawlvleujen? Do you see pictures in clouds? Often in winter the sky is completely overcast and it is just grey. Today, part of the sky was clear and blue, but towards the west there were little clouds, like a flock of sheep. They remind me of something. Is it cauliflower?

The winter was very wet, too much rain. It was very windy, too many storms. But the plants are happy. The wind blew seeds all around. Now there are tree seedlings and new primroses on the lawn. There are flowers and buds on older bushes. There's a red camellia between an apple tree and a pear tree. The daffodils are looking towards the sunrise, in the east.

2026 Day 61

2026 Dedh Trei Ügens hag Onan De Lün, nessa mis Meurth Monday,  2nd March Terweythyow nag eus dhebm tibyans veth, ha na wöra vy pandra dhe scrifa.

Sometimes I don't have a single idea, and I don't know what to write. And sometimes I have too many ideas and I cannot choose! There is a proverb: Too much of one thing is worth nothing. Today, I didn't write anything interesting. Was I without an idea or without a decision?

St David is the patron saint of Wales. The Prince and Princess of Wales learnt a bit of the Welsh language to greet the people of Wales. Will they learn Cornish to greet the people of Cornwall on St Piran's Day?

The picture of this man is hanging on the wall of my husband's sister. Who is the man? He is Nathaniel Davey, the man who went to Baldhu church and saw Billy Bray's grave. He wrote these verses and sent them to the local newspaper. The result was many donations to pay for a big memorial. I will not translate Great-Great-Grandfather Nathaniel's verses!
