Five hundred or half a thousand. That is an important number for me. I have written 500 blogs in this series, every day without fail. How many words did I write? I don’t know. I never counted. Speak Cornish Week is coming in June, but I have already made a contribution. My friend painted a picture (a seascape) and I spoke about it. More than twenty members of our art group watched and listened to us. Some of them had never heard the language before that. Perhaps they will give their pictures Cornish names in the next exhibition. I gave them a big vocabulary.
