Pur goth o vy bes my ell crambla an mena, gen nebes gweres. Theram owth ûsya lorgh Ownter Horace. Ev a verwas nanj ew termyn hir. Da ew gen an maw bian bos heweres - gen camera! Ma va ow cuntel ploum, ewedh. Re drenk ew an ploum dhe vos debrys heb con. Res vedh dhebm aga bryjyon po gwil jamm - hedna a via sawrek. An ploumbren ew pur goth, drefen bos an ke pur goth, moy coth avel an chei, dres lycklod. Nag ew an ploum brâs, keth ew anjei brâssa avel eyrin.



















I am very old but I can climb the hillside, with a bit of help. I use Uncle Horace's walking stick. He died a long time ago. The little boy likes being helpful - with a camera! He's picking plums, too. The plums are too sour to be eaten without sugar. I will have to stew them or make jam - that would be tasty. The plumtree is very old because the hedge is very old, older than the house, probably. The plums are not large, though they are bigger than sloes.

Piw o an persons ma? There are many proverbs in my little book. I can't understand all of them! I could translate some sayings word for word, but they are still nonsense for me. (And I can't find a translation for some words.) Some mention names of women or men (unknown to me). Who were these people? "All abroad, like Mary Miles." "Oll a-les, pecar'a Mary Miles." "All on one side, like Smoothy's wedding." "Oll war ü dn trenewen, pecar'a demedhyans Smoothy." "Always head and chief, like Jimmy Eellis 'mong the cats." Puppres pedn ha chîf, pecar'a Jimmy Eellis mesk an cathes." "Always on the ...
