Da ew genam whedhlow ha da ew genam mappys. Whedhlow gen mappys ew an gwelha! My a redyas "Daralla Jowan Chei a Horr" lies gweyth, ha my a viras orth mappa OS dhe drouvya an henwyn teleryow. My a veu lowen dhe gavas an lever ma gen Robert Morton Nance, pemp pens en shoppa levrow coth en Redrüdh. Ma'n daralla etto, ha mappa tednys gen Nance y hònan. Moy es ew dhe weles an teleryow e'n daralla.






















I like stories and I like maps. Stories with maps are the best! I read "The Tale of John of the House of the Ram" many times, and I looked at an Ordnance Survey map to find the place names. I was happy to find this book by Robert Morton Nance, £5 in an old book shop in Redruth. The story is in it, and a map drawn by Nance himself. It is easier to see the places in the story.

The world is full of signs, more signs than usual. I can see two signs at the same time – a road sign and an estate agent’s signboard. It’s true – a ruin is for sale – but is it buyable? Two miles from here there are more notices by the church. It’s a sad thing – there are no services in November. And there are more notices on the parish board. The Countryside Code: Respect other people; Protect the natural environment; Enjoy the outdoors. Deg ger rag hedhyw:  Ten words for t...
