Celtic Languages

The Celtic languages are divided into two branches: the Goedelic or Gaelic (Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx), and the Brythonic (Welsh, Cornish, and Breton). Goedelic is also known as Q-Celtic, and Brythonic as P-Celtic, the essential differences arising from sound-shifts. (Otherwise known as "minding one's P's and Q's"...)

Saturday 30 April 2011 | Steam Train to cross Angarrack viaduct?

Apparently there's going to be a Steam Heritage tour at the end of April 2011.

It would be great if one of the photographers in the village could capture the train crossing the viaduct.

I think the schedule is going west on Saturday 30th April at about 11:30am and returning east about an hour and a quarter later.  read more »

Nine hours of talks but no verdict

After the Strategic Planning committee's mammoth meeting to discuss the Hayle Supermarket options (see Nine hours of talks but no verdict | thisisccornwall.co.uk) things are not much clearer, though two things do seem clear -  read more »

Hayle is home to war of the supermarkets, while mayor believes none should succeed

Hayle is certainly poised on the brink of a huge decision which will affect the town for the next 50 plus years.The GVA Grimley report states both that a supermarket will lead to a 30% loss in trade and that one is desirable to prevent retail leakage.

Fantastic Samba at the Switch On

A great turnout for the Switch On night and the weather kindly gave us a quick thaw which made the final push by the Elves and the Switch On much better. Bob McCreadie did his usual magnificent job and the long awaited Twelve Drummers Drumming made its debut as planned. There was terrific Samba beats which had the crowd moving along as well, and the Samba band then escorted Santa to his keen audience.  read more »
