Pehên dornweyth ew hebma? Ehen gweyth najedh ew. Hemm ew  brosweyth. Da o gen hôr vy brojya, termyn hei veu yonk. Hei a dreylyas dall ha wòja hedna na alja hei y wil na velha.

My a ell gweles deg mabyar warn ügens, theram ow pedery.

What sort of handicraft is this? It's a type of needlework. This is embroidery. My sister liked to embroider when she was young. She went blind and after that she could no longer do it. This is wool on canvas, many stitches. She was a marvellous stitcher. I like the goldcrests. My sister preferred the chickens. How many hens are there in the first picture, and how many little chicks? I can see thirty chicks, I think.

Our broadband and the house phone come by way of glass fibre under the ground, but our electricity is carried by wires above the ground. the glass fibre is safe from storms but the wires can be brought down by trees in a very strong wind.From time to time somone comes to inspect all the trees under the high voltage wire. And someone else comes to check the low voltage. Does anything need to be cut? Many branches have fallen already this year in the storms. Fortunately, our trees in the hedge are not too tall. Unfortunately, the old Kea plum is leaning over. Perhaps the ivy is too heavy.

The day today was very long and very busy.  And look at the rain (and hail)! In April there are many heavy showers. I am dead tired now! I need sleep, so I will not write a long blog.

Nag eus othom dhe wenenen ma a flourys brâs ha leun a liw. Ma liw moy e'n lost an wenenen. Martesen nag ew an sawor da gena nei, bes ma va ow tedna gwenen. An clegh gwydn ma ew kenidnen drehornek po kenidnen wyls. Ma lies plans e'n ke. An re ma ew bleujow a'n gog Bretednek gwir. Nag ens an faytours Spaynek.

This bee doesn't need big, colourful flowers. There is more colour in the bee's tail. Perhaps we do not like the smell, but it attracts bees. These white bells are three-cornered leek or wild garlic. There are many plants in the hedge. These are true British bluebells. They are not the Spanish imposters.

2026 Dedh Cans ha Trei

Which is the first? I can see an oak tree and an ash tree. There are more leaves on the oak tree, I think. It is the first to produce leaves. Can we predict the weather? I can't remember the rhyme in English. Which was the first tree to grow? The oldest trees are the apple trees. The ash tree grew like a weed in the orchard. Our oak tree is younger. That also grew like a weed, in an old chicken run. I grew the pine trees myself with seeds from a pinecone. They are not weeds, but they are growing very quickly. Will they be too big?

War an diwedh, devedhys ew gwenton gwir.  Ma flourys dhe nei solabres bes, whath moy dhe les, ma nebes tyckies-Duw bian ha gwenen brâs owth apperya. Pe sort tycky-Duw?

Pandr'ew hebma war dhans lew? Nag ew hei gwenenen. Kelyonen-vargesy (bargas) ew hei.

At last, true spring has arrived. We already have flowers but, even more important, several little butterflies and big bees are appearing. What sort of butterfly? They are speckled wood butterflies, I think. They like dancing in the sunshine in the lane. Sometimes they rest on a leaf. This hairy bee (bumblebee) has a red tail. It is resting on the fence. What is this on a dandelion? It is not a bee. It is a hoverfly.

Na vedh nevra fowt a matterow. Saw nag eus termyn lowr rag tedna lebmyn.

Unfortunately, I couldn't go to my writers group this morning. But, fortunately, there was a "Cornish Language Saturday" on line, the whole day. I talked about writing in Late Cornish. I found my first blog (lesson one), my first blog with a photo, my first verses, my first blog for children, and more. There will never be a shortage of subjects. But there is not enough time for drawing now.
