RE: The Cornish Language
hi wendy,
last time i was there, about 2 years or so ago, i stayed in coverack, so had to go over goonhilly all the time. spent most days at kynance, so beautiful and rugged there, although the sea can cut you off!
i actually used to stay at cadgwith, so its good to go back and say hi to the "kids" i played with all those years ago.
never been to the floral dance and hated terry wogan singing it . never been to the padstow hobby horse thingie either.

I love visiting the old haunts when I go home.
Lots of family in Cornwall have moved around abit and some have died. But it great when I bump into old friends and catch up on our lives.
Portleven is a place I use to love when young.
love and blesings

RE: The Cornish Language
Very interesting thread on Cornish language, Wendy!! Got me thinking again and got the itch to go "home".
You may be interested in this link:
www.kernewek.orgMy husband's uncle lives in Kadina - part of the copper triangle in Oz. We think that the Oz part of his family may have actually originated from Cornwall....
As you know, my family comes from Hayle. In fact, as a result of looking for this link to post to you I have come across the person who took the pix and he may well be related to me!! The family name is the same - Hosking. So I'm just about to e-mail him.

RE: The Cornish Language
I love Cornwall - I think for many it really does feel like a Spiritual Home - I spent many childhoods there.
Being Welsh I reckonise the similarites in some of the words.
I also have friends living in Mullion - a truly beautiful place.

Robbie Wright has produced a Cornish Language CD - also he does guided mediations etc.
