Why is there a picture of a cake? It’s a mille-feuille. (That’s French.) Flaky pastry, a “thousand” leaves or sheets of pastry. I’d like to have a cake like that to celebrate! A thousand! I started writing my daily blog a thousand days ago. This is my thousandth text. Much has happened in those thousand days. Why did I start? It was a Resolution for the New Year. I resolved to write some Cornish words every day. Now I can’t stop – I have too many faithful readers. Life is different nowadays. I cannot teach face-to-face, so I have to make use of Zoom. A thousand days ago I had never heard of Zoom. Today I am staying home because there is a pandemic. In January 2018 I stayed home because of terrible weather. Storm Eleanor brought havoc to the coast. Do you remember the waves? Then we had snow in March but July was too hot and many people were packed on beaches. And sometimes there was not enough water and sometimes there was too much water. Weather is important to Cornwall’s economy. And I don’t like too cold or too hot weather – nor too wet.
