(Lebmyn, treylys ewa dhe anedhow wheg.)  The Quaker, George Fox, was not born in Cornwall, so he was not a Cornishman. He was born in the seventeenth century. Two centuries after that there was a Fox family, unrelated, Cornish men and women, all Quakers, living in Falmouth (though...

He was an important man for the Quakers.   The seventeenth century was a turbulent time, with a civil war, the beheading of the king, rule by a Puritan Parliament, the restoration of the monarchy and strict Anglican regime. Amongst that, Quakers were believing all humanity to be equal and to carry the light of Christ wi...

I had to walk two miles to the beach. I did not go in the sea for a swim or build sand castles. No. The health centre is near the beach. My doctor needed a sample, several millilitres of blood, to test kidney function. The healthcare assistant was very quick and efficient. Therefore I had enough time to sit by the beach and watch all the people and birds, before taking the school bus home. The jackdaws and seagulls are bold (or hungry). Deg ger rag hedhyw  Ten wo...

I didn't see our house because it's hidden by trees. It's not too far on a map from Bolingey, but first I had to walk downhill to the valley. There are streams and little rivers running to the sea. I found the Saints Trail. That is flat for a bit. After that I had to walk uphill, a very long hill. U...

I am privileged to  number some of them among my friends. I met friends today in Falmouth, in Tamsin's garden. After eating, we drank wine and tea and we read to one another. Karen gave me her latest book, called "Colours". I started to read it on the bus as I was going home. Her son designed the...
