A Year of Late Cornish

  2026 Dedh Cans ha Pemp De Merher, pemdhegves mis Ebrel Wednesday, 15th April An jedh hedhyw a veu pur hir ha pur vesy. Ha mirowgh ort an glaw (ha keser)! En mis Ebrel ma lies hager gowas . Sqwith marow o vy lebmyn! Ma othom dhebm a gòsk, etho na vadna vy scrifa blogg hir. The day today was very long and very busy.  And look at the rain (and hail)! In April there are many heavy showers. I am dead tired now! I need sleep, so I will not write a long blog.

  2026 Dedh Cans ha Pajar De Meurth, pajardegves mis Ebrel Tuesday, 14th April Nag eus othom dhe wenenen ma a flourys brâs ha leun a liw. Ma liw moy e'n lost an wenenen. Martesen nag ew an sawor da gena nei, bes ma va ow tedna gwenen. An clegh gwydn ma ew kenidnen drehornek po kenidnen wyls. Ma lies plans e'n ke. An re ma ew bleujow a'n gog Bretednek gwir. Nag ens an faytours Spaynek. This bee doesn't need big, colourful flowers. There is more colour in the bee's tail. Perhaps we do not like the smell, but it attracts bees.  These white bells are three-cornered leek or wild garlic. There are many plants in the hedge. These are true British bluebells. They are not the Spanish imposters.

  2026 Dedh Cans ha Trei De Lün, terdhegves mis Ebrel Monday, 13th April Pandr'ew an kensa? My a ell gweles derowen hag onnen (enwedhen). Ma delkyow moy war an dherowen, theram ow pedery.

My a wrüg gonis an pinbrednyer ow hònen gen has dhort aval pin. Nag üjy anjei whynas, saw mowns ow tevy pur üskis. A vedh anjei re vrâs? Which is the first? I can see an oak tree and an ash tree. There are more leaves on the oak tree, I think. It is the first to produce leaves. Can we predict the weather? I can't remember the rhyme in English. Which was the first tree to grow? The oldest trees are the apple trees. The ash tree grew like a weed in the orchard. Our oak...

  2026 Dedh Cans ha Dew De Sül, dewdhegves mis Ebrel Sunday, 12th April War an diwedh, devedhys ew gwenton gwir.  Ma flourys dhe nei solabres bes, whath moy dhe les, ma nebes tyckies-Duw bian ha gwenen brâs owth apperya. Pe sort tycky-Duw? Kosek (cosek) brith ens, theram ow pedery. Da ew ganjans donsya e'n howlsplan e'n vôwnder. Terweythow mowns ow powes war dhelen. Ma lost rüdh dhe'n  wenenen vlewek ma. Ma hei ow powes war an payl. Pandr'ew hebma war dhans lew? Nag ew hei gwenenen. Kelyonen-vargesy (bargas) ew hei. At last, true spring has arrived. We already have flowers but, even more important, several little butterflies and big bees are appearing.   What sort of butterfly? They are speckled wood butterflies, I think. They like dancing in the sunshine in the lane. Sometimes they rest on a leaf. This hairy bee (bumblebee) has a red tail. It is resting on the fence. What is this on a dandelion? It is not a bee. It is a hoverfly.

Unfortunately, I couldn't go to my writers group this morning. But, fortunately, there was a "Cornish Language Saturday" on line, the whole day. I talked about writing in Late Cornish. I found my first blog (lesson one), my first blog with a photo, my first verses, my first blog for children, and more. There will never be a shortage of subjects. But there is not enough time for drawing now.

Unfortunately, the sky is grey, and sometimes there is rain. I cannot see any sunshine. Fortunately, the rain has reduced the pollen in the air. So, I haven't got hayfever but I have a common cold instead. It's not too bad. The wild cherry blossom can be pleasing without being a sneezing problem.
