Friday, the day today, is named in Cornish (though not in English) after a planet or goddess. Venus (Gwener) is a planet and a goddess. We see the same name in other languages - dydd Gwener in Welsh, venerdì in Italian, vendredi in French, dies Veneris in Latin. Who was she? To the Greeks the planets were "Wanderers", moving against a background of constellations (some with Greek names). The Romans gave gods' names to the planets. Our planet Gwener was known to the Romans as "Lucifer" - light bringer and sacred to Venus. Lucifer carried a torch and announced the dawn - the morning star. Later the name Lucifer was used for the Devil and the planet was named for the goddess.

I love my grandchildren, and I love dogs, but they can be hard work to entertain, especially young boys and puppies. They have so much energy! However, when they are together, they can entertain one another. The boy likes throwing a ball and the dog likes chasing a ball - a good combination. They can both run. Meanwhile, the old dog and the cats keep their distance. They do not like young boys nor puppies.

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 dove

Do you have an Advent calendar? Many children love them. Usually they start on the first day of December and they finish on the 24th - one day before Christmas. Each day there is a window or door to be opened - to reveal a chocolate, sweet, trinket or other treat. The first printed calendar was published in Germany 120 years ago. Now you can see calendars made of p
