Piw a wra gwaynya moy vôtys vel oll a' r'erol (an re erol)? En Loundres ma othom a mayr nowydh. Ma ügens ombrofyer/ombrofyores. An reknans a wra kemeres termyn hir. Ma politycoryon, gwarier, activists, "lorden". En Kernow, ma dhe nei mayryon vrâs! Silvanus Trevail 1894-1895 o towler treven. Ev a wrüg derevel Ôstel Pentir, saw hedna ew whedhel aral! Eus clowys gena whei a'n gostlow Towynblystra?
















There are many votes to be counted after an election. Sometimes there are many candidates. The votes must be separated into piles and then counted by experienced tellers. Who will win more votes than all the others? In London they need a new mayor. There are twenty candidates. The count will take a long time. There are politicians, an actor, activists, a "clown". In Cornwall, we have serious mayors! Silvanus Trevail 1894-1895 was an architect. He built the Headland Hotel, but that is another story! Have you heard of the Newquay Riots?

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?
