May Gibbs Fellowship
May 2011
Today I found myself in a time warp as I visited the Cornish Festival, Kernewek Lowender, at Moonta, on the Copper Coast in South Australia. I took a two hour crash course in the Cornish language (ie My name is Karen) with the wonderful Lilian James, attended the Moonta Dressing of the Graves and listened to some costumed kids sing some olde worlde music. Shop assistants in the town were dressed in garb from the 1800s and there was even a front yard showing off a line of washing.
This festival lasts a whole week, and there was the feeling that things were only just revving up.

Nice pics, Karen. I really love the washing by the old house. It looks like a home where all are welcome and a cup of tea and cake are waiting.
I know Kaye, it was such a nice surprise to come across!
