My a res kemeres trogh nowydh rag chei nowydh. Ma Montbretia (Whednen Kernow) ow tevy avel whenn heb gweres.  

It's cloudy today. The sky is overcast. The sky and the sea are faded, as grey as ashes. Summer should be colourful. Fortunately, there are bright flowers in our gardens and the hedges. There's no patch of blue in the sky but a patch of blue sky has fallen in my garden. I like my big hydrangea bush - I grew it from a little cutting (several years ago). I must take a new cutting for a new house. Montbretia (the Cornish Weed) grows as weeds without help.

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?
