Lowen o vy hedhyw. Ma dew lever nowydh dhebm. Scrifys ew an dhew gans ow hòthmans. Gwydn ow bes dh'ajon whedhloryon marthys.  My a vetyas gen darallores Susie en bagas scriforyon en Falmeth. Hy lever hei ew rag flehes. Omdhevades a venja godhvos hy hònanieth gwir ha cavos hy gevel (po gevelles). Ankespar ew hei ort flehes erel - ma dhedhy creythen war hy bejeth. Ha darallor Alan ew kes-Kernoweger. Y lever ev rag pobel cowldevys. Voog ew mason gen viaj a dhiskevrans y hònan. Ev, ewedh, ew defalebys, gen diwla astranj. An gath ew lowen ewedh. Ma kevys genjy canstel helyk. Lebmyn na ellama hy movya! Lowen ew an gwywer drefen trouvya an has edhyn - bes res ew colobmen coos gòrtos.












I am happy today. I have two new books. Both are written by my friends. I am so lucky to know wonderful story tellers. I met story teller Susie in a writers' group in Falmouth. Her book is for children. An orphan would like to know her true identity and to find her twin. She is different from other children - she has a scar on her face. And storyteller Alan is a fellow Cornish speaker. His book is for adults. Voog is a mason with his own voyage of discovery. He, too, is misshapen, with strange hands. The cat is happy as well. She has found a wicker basket. Now I can't move it. The squirrel is happy because he has found the bird seed - but a wood pigeon must wait.

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?
