For a long time the people of Cornwall had a bad reputation. We have a quotation from Adam de Carleton in the year 1342 as he resigned as Archdeacon of Cornwall. "The folk of these parts," he said, "are extraordinary!" (Were they strange?) It was not in their nature to cooperate. They were "obdurate in the face of attempts to teach and correct". The Cornish people did not like authority. They suffered greatly in their later rebellions. Many hundreds of men, Cornish speakers, were killed.

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?
