It is Mothers’ Day today, celebrated by families everywhere. It’s the end of March and it’s the first day of British Summer Time as well. We altered our clocks yesterday night. One o’clock became two o’clock. Now the evening is longer, I think – but I may be mistaken. I couldn’t go out with my daughter and granddaughter because they are both poorly. I found something for teaching – nine cubes in a box. Each cube has six different images on it - so fifty-four pictures. They are used for story-telling.

Today I went to the Tate Art Gallery in St Ives. The weather was bright/splendid; the sky and the sea were very blue. We an always say “The sea is blue/grey/green”, Today the colour of the sea was like a peacock’s feathers. The wind was gentle. Several small boats were sailing slowly. In the Tate there is an exhibition by Anna Boghiguian, an Egyptian-Canadian artist (of Armenian origin). She is an old lady and she has travelled all round the world. “I am a nomad,” she says. Everywhere she learns about the history and culture to use in her works. Part of her work is an installation about Cornwall. There is a huge tin drum. You can walk into it. It is covered and loaded with images and sayings about mining and fishing. She made miners of tin and copper as well. Two of them are climbing up a ladder to get out of the mine. The walls are painted black and red like underground.

The world is full of big and small beasts. Some animals have four legs. We see animals like that every day, indoors and in fields. It's our choice, usually. We are sad to see a dead animal (like this mole).However, animals with six or eight legs are different from that.  We do not choose to live with more than four legs. We do not like gnats. They can bite (though males prefer to suck plant juices not blood). We want to see them dead!

Can I introduce “Wow”? She is a very sweet mare – very gentle and inquisitive. She has come from Texas but she loves being in Cornwall. Her muzzle was sunburnt in the Texas summer – the weather in Cornwall is kinder. She has never seen a pram before (nor a baby). She is interested! Is this something to eat? She likes eating. A pram is inedible – so she prefers eating grass. Can you see her shoes? My neighbour (she is a horsewoman) does not like iron shoes for her horses. She prefers natural horsemanship.

I walked around the garden and the cat came with me. I have already heard several wild bees and today I saw one. The cat saw it as well – she wanted to chase it. The cat was annoyed – she couldn’t catch her bumblebee. Bees like pear tree blossom. This blossom this year is the best I have ever seen. Will we have pears? We didn’t have a single pear before now. There are many flowers all round the garden – purple violets, yellow primroses and golden dandelions. It is too early for bluebells and orchids, though I have seen the leaves.

There are several flowers in spring with animals in their names. There are lamb’s tails (catkins) – these male flowers, full of pollen, hang on hazel trees. There are pussy willows (catkins) as well – more male flowers on osiers and other willows. In Latin Salix caprea is goat willow. My rabbits like eating flowers and leaves of dandelions. There are many willows by the road near my house. Birds like to settle on their branches and sing out. Here are two different birds - a goldfinch and a robin - in the same tree.

Here is a ram in a field. The twenty-first day of the month of March was the first day of a new sign of the zodiac – this is the sign of The Ram. There is a constellation in the night sky. In English it is called “Aries”. “Aries” is the Latin word for ram. In Greek mythology Ares was the god of war. he was not a ram. But what is the connection between “Aries” and the month of March? Mars was the Roman god of war, like Ares. And March was the first month of the year for the Roman army. The Ram became apparent in the sky and the soldiers could begin fighting!

I like spring. More than that, I love it. There is something happening everywhere. I saw people in a field near the “Far Down”, picking daffodils. The flowers are going to market. Farmers need many workmen. Sometimes they come from Europe. That would be more difficult after Brexit.

In my garden I saw a reptile waking up in the warmth of the sun. What kind of “worm” is it? Is it a poisonous snake? It isn’t a snake at all. It is a slow-worm and that means that it is a leg-less lizard. “Four-paws” without paws!

In the next field there is a stream. The stream runs to a little pond. It’s not a fish pond because there are no fish. It’s not a duck-pond either for there are no ducks (usually). But today I saw ducks. A couple is looking for a good place for a nest.

This is my reading for the Cornwall Music Festival 2019. Written in the 17^th century by Nicholas Boson (1624-1708), it is written in Late Cornish and the spelling is his own. These extracts show that Boson was worried about the decline of the Cornish language under pressure from English.

Our Cornish language is so far weakened that we can hardly expect to see it recover (get strong) again. For as the English sent it into this narrow land in the first place, so it is still bearing down on it without leaving it any place except for the coast (cliffs) and the sea. Almost all that is spoken now is from Lands End to St Michael’s Mount (the Grey Rock), and towards St Ives and Redruth, and again from the Lizard towards Helston and Falmouth; and this country, the narrowest two necks of land that are about twenty miles long,and only a quarter to a half of that wide. In this narrow place and all there is more English spoken than there is Cornish, for some can be found that can hardly speak or understand Cornish, but almost nobody (hardly anybody) that can’t understand and speak English. Therefore, it seems to me, it is hard to make it stop and come round again. For after the old people die away, we see the young people speak it less and less and worse and worse. And thus it will decline (lessen) from time to time.

***

For I myself was born in the heart of this country where Cornish is most spoken, and yet I remember when I was only about six years old I couldn’t speak it nor hardly understand it. The problem I think was a whim of Mother’s forbidding the servants, and the neighbours, to speak anything to me except English.

***

Then going away to school, and after that going to France, I don’t remember knowing much in the Cornish language, until I came to have business in the World. And now I plan to see almost as far into it as many of the neighbours, and I have as great a love for it. But I can’t give it more than I ought, for it is rather lacking as can be seen in many words that have to be made up from the Latin, or the English. And nobody knows  from whence this loss first came, through the Romans mixing with the Britons, or after that through the English, perhaps both.

There was bright sun in the distance for a short time – on the beach and the new white buildings by the beach. I heard many spring sounds – a robin singing in a hedge, my husband mowing the lawn and a certain bird knocking on this big tree. Can you see it? It’s a woodpecker – with black and white and red plumage.

The weather today was boring. There wasn’t any wind and there wasn’t any bright sun. It was mild. It wasn’t too cold and it wasn’t too hot. There were thin clouds but the sun didn’t burn them away. Today the day lasted more than twelve hours. Yesterday was the spring equinox. In Perranzabuloe the sunrise was about half past six in the morning and sunset was about half past six in the evening. The moon was full last night, after midnight, but it was covered with clouds. A full moon in March is called a “worm moon”.

She is a worker in clay but she is not a potter. She makes three-dimensional pictures. They spill out onto the frames. She is a good botanist (or gardener). Her vegetables and fruits (e.g. these peas and apples) are very “real”. Peter Skinner (a worker in wax) was invited originally, but he couldn’t come. Perhaps he will come another time.

Spring has arrived. All the hedges are full of flowers and there are lots of lambs getting bigger in the meadows. Ladybirds (God’s little cows) are waking up. Blackthorn (sloe) is covered with white blossom. It is too early for the leaves and it is too early for white thorn (hawthorn). Some of the flowers are native to these islands, but some others are invading. There are several place names after native species (thanks to Craig Weatherhill for these examples).

Alexanders, with green flowers, and Spanish bluebells, with blue flowers, are quite pretty, but they don’t have any place names. Native bluebells will come later.

It was lovely but windy today. The sea was rough. An interesting day. The seventeenth day of March is St Patrick’s Day. Who is Patrick? He is the patron saint of Ireland (though he was not Irish). Where was he born? He was born in Great Britain, perhaps in the south of Scotland, in the middle of the fifth century.The young man was captured by pirates.They took him to Ireland. His work there was shepherding sheep, but he escaped and returned to his family in Great Britain. After being ordained on the mainland he went to Ireland again and began his work for Christian believers in the country. Patrick founded a church. There was another saint in Ireland called Palladius. The work of the two saints is mixed up in the old texts. It’s said that Patrick banished snakes out of Ireland (but probably there were no snakes In Ireland in Patrick’s time, because they had died out in the Ice Age and they could not return across the sea).

Chasewater is a nice little village. It has a good village hall. A group came together there to talk about the Cornish language and to plan how to make recordings and other things for beginners and more advanced people. We put all our ideas together, we shared them. We considered what is the purpose, what would be the possibilities, which platforms could we use, who could do the things and is there a practical plan? 
Should we put more on Wikipedia? Do you know there is Wikipedia written in Cornish?

Sadly, I can't go to my art group in Lily's, Truro, today. I am not well enough yet. I'm a walking pharmacy! I went to the doctor's surgery yesterday about my bronchitis, and I have just swallowed eight little pills for asthma, one big antibiotic pill, and three other pills for my heart and blood pressure. Hopefully I will live a few more days and not cough on Friday and Saturday. What is so interesting/important about those days? Welshman Carl Morris will come to Cornwall to help us with ideas how to develop and improve our online materials in the Cornish language. He has good experience in Wales.
