There are several manuscripts in the Cornish language in the Cornwall Centre in Redruth (Plain an Gwarry). Seven years ago they were in the Cornwall Records (Archive) Office in Truro. The new archive building is magnificent – the old “house” was slightly flimsy and temporary (it's gone now). I was fortunate seven years ago today to see two manuscripts in Truro. I read the Lord's Prayer for a news programme on TV. I should like to see that book again. To see words handwritten by great men is special and inspiring.

I am not a fine poetess and my verses are not refined poetry. I would prefer to write songs, but I don't know how to compose the music. I am not a composer. It's hard to get rhymes for some words. Can I remember rhymes? I can't remember exactly. But "amusing" is a rhyme for "exactly" (more or less). "Moth" is another rhyme, but how can I use it? The picture is a peppered moth. Ma whans dhebm a scrifa neppeth didhan...
