Anjei ell maga war nebes knithviles bian ewedh. Kevys ens en reden gleb, todn garow ha min cosow (ha martesen et ow lowarth ha'n vôwnder). Ball ma, an bou, a gavas ow crohen. I don't like dwelling in a city, among big buildings and lots of people. I prefer being among vegetation. But that is not perfect. There are little creatures in the surrounding countryside that are not seen in towns. This creature is a tick. They drink the blood of big animals, e.g. deer, sheep and cattle. They can also feed upon some small rodents. They are found in wet bracken, rough grassland and the edge of woods (and perhaps in my garden an...

Nei a wrüg movya kerdh dhort An Crang ha thera nei owth entra An Lew. Da ew genam tedna An Lew!  There are some changes. Fortunately, the weather is not so hot today. I can breathe! The sun is still shining, but the sky is cloudy and there is a gentle wind from the west. Unfortunately, I can't see the night sky, because of the clouds. The constellations are changing, I believe. We have moved away from Cancer and we are entering Leo. I like drawing Leo!

In those months, some of the crops are gathered. Some are still growing, to be gathered in the autumn. Some produce is eaten now and some is store...

I have beautiful flowers from our friends, and the country has a new Prime Minister. The Government will bring an end to rough sleeping - according to our new Prime Minister. Will that be possible? It is certainly desirable.

Pur dhe les ew y experyens.   I'm happy today. We had visitors. Many years ago my husband and his friend were researchers, in cancer research, in London. They were looking for abnormalities of chromosomes in tumours. Now they are retired and are separated by many miles. Today the friend came to our house. He was brought by his daughter and the daughter's husband in their car. The young man is a real stone mason. His experience is very interesting.

Nag ewa maga las avel kens. Bès Kernow a dal bos glas. Ma othom dhen a las. Ma lies telher "glas" dhodho. Nicholas Smith a liwyas a "sawan" las (gen mor glas). The weather is hot again - too hot and too dry.  Vegetation is turning yellow and rusty. It is not as green as before. But Cornwall should be green. We need green. It has many "green" places. Nicholas Smith painted the green "zawn" (with a blue sea). The word GLAS has ancient origins. Travel several hundred miles further north to Scotland and you find Glasgow (recorded as Glasgu around 1136), meaning Green Hollow, which is similarly derived from the original British language of these islands. Here are some Cornish place names containing “glaze” or “glase”, meaning GREEN (ref. Craig Weatherhill). We can only guess...
