High Tide Jangye-ryn

Poldhu Cove on the Lizard Peninsula.
This wasn't even low tide and there was too much beach to fit on one photo (this is 3 stitched together).

A mother who learned Welsh to support her children has been named Learner of the Year at the National Eisteddfod.
Julie McMillan's family has switched to speaking Welsh at home and the tax officer worker will start a new job teaching Welsh to adults in September.
Mrs McMillan, from Tynewydd, Rhondda, began learning three years ago and said she was "over the moon" with the award. Another finalist was a Yorkshire man with a father from Hong Kong who became fluent using email and the internet.
David Chan, whose mother is English, has never lived in Wales and is now working with Bangor University despite still living in Yorkshire.
Patients, staff and visitors will be able to park for free at almost every NHS hospital in Wales by the end of 2011, it has been announced.
The announcement fulfils the assembly government's commitment to reform charges for hospital parking, which was set out in the One Wales document outlining the agenda of the Labour and Plaid Cymru coalition.
Health Minister Edwina Hart said: "Car parking charges fall heavily on people frequently attending NHS hospitals, whether they are patients, staff or visitors."
It will be even more important now to find new ways of controlling car parks to avoid misuse, particularly where hospitals are near town centres, says Mike Ponton, of the Welsh NHS Confederation
Great work by the lanaguage community, why not find the car park running costs from elsewhere, such as the roads budget? People should not have to pay to visit the hospital.
Lets have more well publiscised Gorsedd language awards!
The Welsh pressure group Cymuned is looking for helpers and they are perhaps open to making Cymuned more Cornish, more relevent to Kernow; so why not contact them: http://cymuned..../?page_id=21
Apple Mac computer users are now able to download Welsh language tools,
free of charge, thanks to a joint venture by the Welsh Language Board
and the Language Technologies Unit at Canolfan Bedwyr, Bangor University.
Users of Apple Mac computers will now be able to download a version
of 'Cysgliad', a collection of Welsh-language tools for home and network
computers that has until now only been available for Microsoft Windows
users. However, due to the high number of requests from Apple Mac
users for a version of Cysgliad to be made available to them, a grant
was secured from the Welsh language Board for Bangor University to
develop the new technology. Among other things, Cysgliad will allow
Apple Mac users to make use of a comprehensive set of spelling and
grammar checkers for Welsh, including a Welsh/English dictionary.
Last year the League reported that Microsoft software would be available
in Scottish Gaelic in September 2007 and later in Breton, but there
has been no news as yet if similar technology will be available for
Scottish Gaelic or Breton language users of Apple Mac computers.
Cysgliad is available for Apple Mac OS X computers, 10.4 and can be
downloaded at:
