Avorow my a vedn dallath gwil calander (tavas) Kernôwek.

We received a New Zealand calendar for next year from our friends. It is full of beautiful images. They are dramatic photos of mountains, glaciers, estuaries, lakes, beaches and waterfalls. We have a calendar to send, with images of sunsets in Cornwall. They are beautiful, but they are not dramatic. We do not have high mountains with snow nor glaciers. Tomorrow I will start making a Cornish (language) calendar.
