We will have bad weather tomorrow but today the weather is calm.
Storm Ciara is coming and there will be high waves.
There were only little waves this morning.
I'll not go near the sea tomorrow, I shall not go out.
Today I went to Camborne for a Yeth an Werin in the Lowennac
Hotel. The town was very quiet too. We spoke in the Cornish
language and discussed the correct way to pronounce several
words – stress for example. We drank tea and coffee and ate
biscuits. There's a bronze statue by the library – a statue of Richard
Trevithick “a son of Camborne” and his steam engine.
