Nag ew an gwav re arow whath, etho ma flourys bian en nebes teleryow. Nag ens perfûmys. Saw wòja rew, leun ew an ayr a vlas - onyon po kednin. Nag eus tra veth dhe vos gwelys - an del ew pecar'a gwels. Ma flourys war ow moyha kerys eythin oll an vledhen - pecar'a lantorns münys.
There's a lovely smell in the hedgerows, like
vanilla. These flowers are not native, they aren't Cornish. These African
visitors are welcome visitors, sweet but often scruffy, because of the weather
and the traffic on the road. They are male flowers, showy but barren. The
winter is not too harsh yet, so there are little flowers in several places.
They are not perfumed. But after a frost, the air is full of a bad smell -
onions or garlic. There is nothing to be seen - the leaves are like grass.
There are flowers on my favourite gorse all the year - like minute lanterns.
