Late Cornish 2022

De Meurth, wheffes mis  Kevardhû Tuesday, 6th December Agan kentrevoges a gar bestes pajartr òsek - mergh, llamas, keun, cathes. Hy fernas an diwettha ew  üdngorn! L ôwenek ha liwys ew dhe weles hebma en kewer loos ha disliw. Tho an eborn ha'n mor glas - henn ew maga loos avel l üjiw. E veu tabm bian a r ü dh e'n mettin a-varr, saw woja hedna na veu liw veth.  Bes lebmyn ma kylgh adro dhe'n loor. Our neighbour loves four-legged animals - horses, llamas, dogs, cats. Her latest purchase is a unicorn! It's cheerful and colourful to see this in grey and colourless weather. The sky and the sea were grey - that's as grey as ashes. There was a bit of red in the early morning, but after that there wasn't any colour. But now there's a ring around the moon. 

De Lün, pempes mis Kevardhû Monday, 5th December Omweloryon nag ew ragwelys! Devedhys ew ow mergh ha dew flogh wydn. "Nag eus tredan dhe nei ha gwiasva veth. Nag eus  tòbmheans dhen. Ma caletter. " Anjei a vedn triga genen rag an nos. Re dhiwedhes ew dhe assoylya an caletter. Martesen avorow a vedh deffrans! Unexpected visitors! My daughter and two grandchildren have come. "We have no electricity and no internet. We have no heating. There is a problem." They want to stay with us for the night. It is too late to solve the problem. Perhaps tomorrow will be different!     

De Sül, pajora mis  Kevardhû Sunday, 4th December Terweythyow an nowodhow ew pur dha bes terweythyow ma yeyn nowodhow. Gwelys veu morvil bew e'n mor ogas dhe Syllan. Nowodhow da. Delfin baby marow a veu kevys war dreth reb Breanek - mellyes gen daffar peskecha ha beudhys. Yeyn nowodhow. War dir, mars eus mòna ha carr dhewgh, whei ell gweles gòlowow teg en Porth Meur. Ma Kivorr a Wòlowow dhe'n Museum Gwreckys. Yeyn nowodhow mars nag eus na mòna na caryans dhewgh!   Sometimes the news is very good but sometimes there is sad news. A live whale was seen in the sea near the Isles of Scilly. Good news. A dead baby dolphin was found on a beach by St Agnes - tangled in fishing gear and drowned. Bad news. On land, if you have money and  car, you can see beautiful lights in Charlestown. The Shipwreck Museum has a Tunnel of Lights. Bad news if you have neither money nor transport!

De Sadorn, tryja mis Kevardhû Saturday, 3rd December Ow whei parys rag niverow brâs? En Kernow ma moy es deg warn ügens mil mildir a geow storek. Ha godresys ens. Diwith ens. Nag üjy an laha ow qwitha keow Sowsnek ow qwitha agan keow. Lies ew pur goth. Nicholas Boson (1667) a gomplas "keow Chei Oon" en Jooan Chy a Hordh. Bes ma keow cottha vel hedna. En Bargen tir Boschigarn, ogas dhe Eglossenar, ma keow ogas dhe beder mil bloodh. Are you ready for big numbers? In Cornwall you will find more than 30,000 miles of historic hedges. And they are threatened. They are unprotected. The law protecting English hedgerows does not protect our hedges. Many are very old. Nicholas Boson (1667) mentioned the hedges of Choon in Jôwan Chei a Horr. But there are hedges older than that. In Bosigarn Farm, near Zennor, there are hedges nearly 4,000 years old.

De Gwener, nessa mis Kevardhû Friday, 2nd December Thew gwav a veteorologieth, an secònd jorna. An gewer ew yeyn lowr, anwosek, saw nag eus rew na ergh. Ma annes warnam. Theram ow  pâsa ha striwy. Nag eus dhebm lev lowr dhe glappya. Daskelwys genam ew ow descansow. Nag eus whans dhebm a vos mes. Ma drog pedn genam. A wra vy cosca po scrifa neppeth? Nag eus nerth dhebm! Da via genam bos war treth dadn an howl en telher teg ha tòbm. Martesen An Cost Rych? My ell henrosa! It's meteorological winter, the second day. The weather is quite cold, chilly, though there's no frost or snow. I have a cold. I am coughing and sneezing. I do not have enough voice to speak. I have cancelled my lessons. I do not want to go out. I have a headache. Shall I sleep or write something? I don't have any energy! I should like to be on a beach under the sun in a beautiful warm place. Perhaps Costa Rica? I can dream!

De Yow, kensa mis Kevardhû Thursday, 1st December Da ew genam sciens. Dhort termyn dhe dermyn thera vy ow scrifa blogg bian rag flehes, ha hedhyw my a scrifas ow tochya biologieth - gnasyow a vownans. En Sowsnek ma covadh - MRS GREN - bes calish ew dhe wil neppeth pecar en K ernowek. Rag fra nag ew car bew? I like science. From time to time i write a little blog for children, and today I wrote about biology - the characteristics of life. In English there is a mnemonic - MRS GREN - but it's hard to do something similar in Cornish. Why isn't a car alive?  https://kernowekenchei.blogspot.com/2022/12/at-home-with-cornish-59.html

De Merher, degves warn ügens mis D û Wednesday, 30th November An diwettha dedh a vis D û  ha nag eus bes üdnek dedh warn ügens terebo an diwettha dedh a'n vledhen. Gellys ew kidnyadh.

Solabres ma buddys hir lily an Corawys reb an eglos ha flourys eythin melyn e'n ke. Corawys? Nag ew Adhwen dallathys bes namnygen!    The last day of November and it's only 31 days till the last day of the year. Autumn has gone. Winter will start. There are still some scruffy toadstools left. There are leafless trees and evergreen trees, but some trees still have dead leaves. But what season is it? There are already long daffodil buds by the church and yellow gorse flowers in the hedge. Lent? Advent has only just begun!
