Ma düstüny dr'o Imbolc dhe les gen kemenethow gonisegeth Oos Nowydh an Men, nanj ew pemp mil bledhen. Degol Brigid ew ewedh, mabm sans a Wordhen, ha kens hedna degol rag an dhuwes Brigit po Brig. Etho, dedh pur vrâs an vledhen ew.    

Eight o'clock in the morning and there was a delivery van by our gate. A new trampoline had come in two big packages. We are hopeful that we will be able to see our grandchildren in the summer, after lockdown is finished. In the meantime, it is Candlemas tomorrow and I should put away the Christmas tree. Of course, the cat wants to help me! Tomorrow will be midway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. In the past there was a Celtic pagan festival called Imbolc - to welcome the spring. There is evidence that Imbolc was important to Neolithic farming communities, five thousand years ago. It's St Brigid's Day too, a patron saint of Ireland, and before that the festival of the goddess Brigit or Brig. So, it's a very important day of the year.
