De Sadorn, ethves mis Ebrel

Saturday, 8th April

Leun o agan lowarth hedhyw gen flehes gwyls! Agan mergh wydn vrâs a settyas helgh tresor gen deg gidyans rag an yonkers ha yonkoresow. Saw na veu batel gen bambous radn an helgh. Ha na veu gidyans na tresor veth e'n wedhen.

Our garden was full of wild children today! Our big granddaughter organised a treasure hunt with ten clues for the youngsters. But a battle with bamboos was not part of the hunt. And there were no clues nor treasure in the tree.

Saw de, na veu sawor wheg - drefen bos lesa bousel e'n gwelyow. Ma dhebm lies melyonen wheg, saw na aljama aga clowes.  

It's Good Friday. This should be a quiet day, I think. But my world is not quiet today. My husband and I have five grandchildren with us - and three cats, one dog and one guinea pig! It is not quiet. They need food and amusement. They are looking forward to Easter, but there is one more day to wait. There is beauty all around, in gardens and the surrounding countryside. But yesterday, there was not a sweet smell - because there was muck-spreading in the fields. I have many sweet violets, but I could not smell them.

I do not like rain. I don't like being wet. But rain is very good for all the green plants. The horses love eating new growing grass (but they do not eat the primroses). The little boy loves rain. He loves jumping over puddles and, like Peppa Pig, in muddy puddles. Boys will jump without puddles too - their two feet flying above the ground.

I'm tired. The day was quite busy, quite fast, and I did not have time to be slow. I can slow down now, but it's time for bed.
