2026 Dedh Trei Ügens ha Dew De Meurth, tryja mis Meurth Tuesday, 3rd March Pur leb o an gwav, re a law. Pur wenjek o, re lies enawel. Bes lôwen ew an losow. An gwens a whethas has a-derdro. Lebmyn ma glasbrednyer ha brially nowydh war an glesin. Ma flourys ha buddys war vagasow cottha. Ma camellia rüdh tredh avalen ha perbren. Ma'n lily Corawes ow mires war tûa'n howldrevel, e'n est. 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 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. Ha terweythyow ma dhebm re a dibyansow ha na ellama dewis! Ma lavar coth: Re a üdn dra na dal traveth.  Hedhyw, na wrüga vy scrifa traveth dhe les. A veu vy heb tibyans po heb ervirans? 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!

Yesterday I went to the theatre with my son. We watched "Hamlet" by Shakespeare. The play is wonderfully good and the production is wonderfully good. Simple and effective. The evening was very enjoyable. There are many sayings in the play that are familiar to us. "Alas, poor Yorick."

Nag ens ûsyes na velha rag gwil baskettys puskes. Pur glan ew an ayr. Ma kewny war lies gwedhen en keow ewedh. Da ew genam an liw - glas. The road going to the sea is wild. Is this a wilderness? No. It's Bolingey Wood, near the Saint's Trail. You cannot walk in it, because the ground is marshy and full of pools. The old osiers are covered in moss and lichen. They are not used any longer for making fish baskets. The air is very clean. There is lichen on many trees in hedges, too. I like the colour - blue/grey/green.
