My sweet, talented friend died a few weeks ago, from a heart attack. She was too young. We said farewell today. Peace be with you, Viv.

There was strong wind and heavy rainfall in the night and the morning. Fortunately, our trampoline was not blown away. The noisy wind and rain have gone now, like the weather forecast said. But I can still hear the sound of the sea - and at last I can hear the little stream running from the shallow pond, though it's only a trickle.

Nowadays we must carry our black sacks of rubbish to the road, or push them along in a wheelbarrow. The lane is too small for a dustbin lorry. The Council has plans for people in Cornwall to use large wheelie bins. Could we push one of them in our muddy lane, with all its holes?

Several roads in Exeter had floods because of the rain. There was rain here too, but it was not so bad. The lane is a bit muddy, but there still isn't enough water for the stream. The toads under the rain butt are happy, and butterflies and wasps are OK.

Nowadays the corn is cut by machine. That is faster than in the past with a scythe. In those days it needed lots of reapers. The end of the harvest was a cause to celebrate "Guldize" (harvest festival). A tradition is revived in the west - that is "Crying the Neck". The last patch of corn in the last field is left to be cut by hand, using a scythe. The best sheaf is picked and held up high in four directions (east first). The farmer should say, "I 'ave un." The people cry, "What 'ave 'ee?" He answers, "A neck (a chicken head)!" three times. Then the sheaf is taken to the church.

We see all sorts of transportation in Cornwall - on roads, rails and water. Sometimes there is conflict between them! This bridge in Truro was built before the age of the tall bus. This bus should have been in the middle of the road. There was an accident - the bridge and the bus are damaged. Twelve miles away on the water in Falmouth there is a huge vessel. The owner of the vessel is very rich - the bus is for poorer people.

"In summer remember winter," is a proverb. It is not summer now and I am not thinking of winter. It is autumn now and my thoughts are on spring. May is the last month of spring and I must go on with my calendar for next year. But what must I choose for a picture?
