Today was a day without taking any new photos myself. Storm Alex has come from France, with strong winds and rain. We were warned by the BBC. I can’t go out for fear of being wet and blown over. The wind is sighing around the house like a ghost. But I didn’t want to go out because there was a Skians webinar on the subject of Cornish language research. More than fifty people listened to talks from several countries. Meanwhile the sea was rough and the storm was lashing the coast. Oliver Padel spoke about the names in the freeing of slaves (m & f) from slavery in Bodmin more than a thousand years ago. Other people spoke about spelling, grammar, language revivals, all sorts of things, old and new.
