Còmplys ew creftoryon e'n Beybel Sans. En Exodus scrifys ew "Ev re wrüg aga lenwel a skiantoleth dhe wil pub ober a vedha gwres gen gravyor, po gen desiner, po gen brochyer in neujen las ha purpur ha cogh hag en lien fin-nedhys, po gen gwiader". Ma carpentoryon e'n Beybel ewedh. Noy a wras y lester a predn. Mater meurgerys ew gen artistys dres an cansbledhednyow. Patron Lester Noy - gans oll an bestes - o cübmyes avel "gwaryel Sül" en teylûyow cryjyk. Lies anodhans o gwres a bredn (po martesen a sten). Nei a wel an whel-ober, moy sevür, gravyoryon a ven war lies men co.  (Ma losow saw nag eus bestes.) 











Craftsmen are mentioned in the Holy Bible. In Exodus is written "He has filled them with wisdom to do every work made by the engraver, or by designer, or by the embroiderer in blue and purple and red thread in fine-spun linen, or by the weaver." There are carpenters in the Bible as well. Noah made his vessel out of wood. It's a favourite subject with artists throughout the centuries. A model of Noah's Ark - with all the animals - was allowed as a "Sunday toy" in religious families. Many of them were made of wood (or perhaps of tin).  We see the, more serious, efforts of stone engravers on many memorials. (There are plants but no animals.)

I'm a proper lazybones today. I found an old blog (August 2018) and decided to recycle it. I like reusing lots of things! I was brought up after the war, in a spirit of make do and mend. We didn't squander a single thing. I was satisfied with my verses in the first place, so why shouldn't I recycle them?
