Sunday, 4th October

Ma yettys coth, yettys nowydh, yettys gwres a bredn, yettys gwres a horn, yettys glan, yettys gossednek. E’n pow an-dro thew pub yet brâs. Ma pemp barr leven dhe yettys predn hengovek – yettys pemp-barr ens. Yettys ew poos ha crev, saw anjei ell codha.  An yet ma a veu scodhyes gans an ke, heb post vas. Lebmyn gellys gen glaw ha gwens ew radn an ke ha codhys ew an yet. Terweythyow gwelys ew “yet” en hanow telher po hanow chei. “Gatenbans” a veu yet e’n bans. Pandr’ ellama gweles der neb yet po aral? Garow ew an mor.  An gwelyow ew erys ha ma’n jynn en skiber.



There are old gates, new gates, gates made of wood, gates made of iron, clean gates, rusty gates. In the surrounding countryside every gate is big. Traditional wooden gates have five horizontal bars – they are five-bar gates. Gates are heavy and strong, but they can fall. This gate was supported by the hedge, without a proper post. Now part of the hedge has gone with rain and wind and the gate has fallen. Sometimes a “gate” is seen in a place name or house name. “Gatenbans” was a gate in the hollow.  What can I see through some gate or other? The sea is rough. The fields are ploughed and the machine is in a barn.
