Kernewek Lowender 10-15 May 2011

May of 2011 is still half a year away. Our Cornish Festival, the biennial Kernewek Lowender, which takes place in the Copper Triangle towns at the north of the Yorke Peninsula, is worth putting into the diary.

Here's my 38 seconds from the 2009 street parade showing the schoolkids in period costumes. My slide show may take rather long to load but if you have the patience to allow the whole process, and then play it again, it runs smoothly after the first loading. The curious musical piece - licensed for this use - is Andy Mullen's Sun Goes up, Sun Goes Down.

The Next Cornish Festival

The Copper Triangle's two-yearly Festival - the Kernewek Lowender, meaning Cornish Festivity - will next be held early 2011. Meanwhile here's my 30 seconds worth of slides from the last Festival, taken during the street parade in Kadina. The two other towns of the Triangle are Moonta and Wallaroo.

Be patient if it takes a minute for the video to load fully or to play uninterrupted. Play it again! This time all will be smooth. These 30-second presentations of your own images are a fr*ee promotional service from Animoto.com so you might want to give them a try. They offer other products, of course, right up to professional stuff for businesses. My link to their website is an affiliate link (just so's you know).

It's definitely winter now. The weather's turned windy and chilly.

Too bad about the Socceroos' first match in South Africa (the other SA) losing to 3-times world champion Germany. Have you heard those horns the fans play? Blooming heck!
