Heb omweloryon, sqwithys oma. Etho, gero nei gwandra e’n gwelyow! “Na vedn nei dos warbedn jynn brâs e’n vôwnder.” Bes na veu caletter veth.

Nei a viras orth an mor, an mòngleudh ha’n bal. Scon, martesen, an arrish a vedh erys.  E’n kettermyn, ma mor dû.

“I’m sorry Granny, but I can’t come today. My friend has a stomach ache and she can’t drive.” I am disappointed, most certainly. I would like to see my granddaughter and her sweet little boy. Without visitors, I’m bored. Let’s go for a wander in the fields. “We don’t want to encounter a big machine in the lane.” But there was no problem at all. We could see straw on the ground – fallen from some cart or trailer. And in the fields, all the big bales were gone. We could walk whichever way we liked. We looked at the sea, the quarry and the mine. Soon, perhaps, the stubble field will be ploughed. In the meantime, there are blackberries.
