I'm happy today. A big heap of scrap iron for recycling is gone. There's still a lot of work to do to organise and clean up the garden. Cornwall is notorious for rainy weather. The air near the sea can be quite salty too, therefore iron can rust quickly. Our grandchildren's trampoline became rusty and it wasn't safe any more. The old slide had to go too. A nice man, Dan Hall of Redruth, came with a white van and took the things away.

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

Bes avel mab an vodreb o ev cosin Calvin ewedh?  Families are fascinating. My ancestor had two wives. They were sisters. The first wife, Mehitabel died, when their son Calvin was only ten years old. T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
