Overdevys ew an vos gen idhyow - saw whath nei ell cavas an toll. 

There is no longer a post office in our village, but we can buy postage stamps in a small supermarket. Then, we can post our letters and Christmas cards in this box. The hole is too small for packages. The box is very old, from the time of Queen Victoria, I believe. It has seen many postmen, and some postwomen, come and go. The wall is overgrown with ivy - but we can still find the hole.

Our beautiful language was heard by the whole world. Noah Law was a proud Cornishman. They didn't have to remember the words. They were written on a board held by an official, so they could read them (with glasses). Will Cornwall have our own parliament in future? Perhaps we will need a national anthem. "Most Beloved Cornwall" by Richard Gendall (a proud Cornishman) is a very beautiful song. Deg ger rag hedhyw  Te...

There is little traffic if the roads are closed! There are many inaccessible places, but you can absorb the peace and quiet. We have fresh water too. Sometimes it runs in the road. There are many springs by the road (or in the road) after the rain, and the water must run downhill. In summer we'll have water shortage.
