My friend and I want to know all the names of colours. But it's hard. The same name is used for several colours and there are no good names for some other colours. The oldest pigments are from clay or rocks. The colours last for ever, they are as old as the Earth. Here's an ochre quarry in France. The colours are not fading. There's red ochre and yellow ochre. There's more water bound in the yellow colour and the red colour is anhydrous. Yellow can be turned to red by burning it. They all contain oxides of iron. There is no ochre quarry in Cornwall but there is still iron ore in past mine workings. There is a river near Redruth (River Conar) called the red river. In the past it was stained red. Ochre is removed from the water pumped out of mines, e.g. Wheal Jane. Artist Onya McCausland used this pigment on a wall.

Ma dew radn meur dhe'n Beybel Sans - Testament Coth ha Testament Nowydh. Do you know the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"? Once upon a time this was full of symbolism. It was an important time for Christians, and there was a meaning to each day. The first day of Christmas my true-love sent to me a partridge, "une perdrix" (there's no tree). This is a bird that will die to protect her children. That signifies our Lord. On the second day of Christmas he sent me two turtle dov...

So, we have arrived at the last day of the year. Was it a good year? Part of it was good and part of it was bad. Perhaps the next year will be completely good. I hope! May you have a happy New Year. The weather is very windy in Cornwall now. Will there be fireworks?

The muddied flowers have a sweet smell, but I can't take a photo of a smell. The sky is grey with clouds and I can't see the low sun. However, at night time I can't see the rough garden and the muddy lane. And now there is a full moon, and it is high in the sky. All the little clouds are coloured with silver, and sometimes I am seeing colours around the moon.
