Ew redyes genowgh "An Gwens e'n Helyk"? (Ma treylyans fîn gen Nicholas Williams.) Thera an gwenton ow qwaya e'n ayr ha'n gòdhor a greias, "Mollatuw (molleth Duw) war glanheans an gwenton!" An re na ew ow omglowans poran! Ma'n howl ow còlowa oll an podn gwav ha res ew dhen y glanhe - bes blewek ew hedna. Gwell via genam redya ha scrifa. Ew da genowgh scrifa? Otta nebes geryow dhe saya.

Have you read "The Wind in the Willows"? (There's a fine translation by Nicholas Williams.) The spring was moving in the air and the mole cried, "God's curse on spring-cleaning!" Those are my feelings precisely! The sun lights up all the winter's dust and we must clean it - but that is boring.  I would rather read and write. Do you like writing? Here are some words to try.
