We had a drop of rain in the early morning. It wetted the garden, but there wasn't enough to water it very well. It's dried up already, except there are raindrops on a cobweb on a few strawberry leaves in the shade. The roof rafters of our neighbour's new shed got wet, but now it has a waterproof tarpaulin.

There are many stalls with a lot of food made or grown by the people. Do you like something sweet? There's Cornish honey, there's fudge made with honey. On the same stall there are various preserves, such as marmalades. You need bread to eat with your preserve? I could see all kinds of loaves and cakes. Perhaps you bou...

Den po maw gwiskys en lavrek o moy saw avel benyn pow mos gwiskys en pilen. Today I watched Lynn Mayers talking about bal-maidens. It was a very interesting lecture, from Kresen Kernow (Cornwall Centre). There were many bal-maidens in my parish (in a red area of the map). There is still the remains of a mine nearby. The work could be dangerous. Sometimes a girl's clothes were caught in machinery. Long skirts were not safe. A man or boy dressed in a pair of trousers was safer than a woman or girl dressed in a skirt.
