Awww thanks so much, that means a lot to me! It was a very happy discovery once people started mentioning this about my voice, I had no idea haha! Hopefully with a bit more work and learning on the audio editing side of things I can get everything sounding lovely, but I'm happy you enjoy it currently as well! Meur ras, thanks, for watching! 💚
Righton? This channel of yours warms the cockles of this old Mylor boy's heart, who went from Mylor Primary School under George Piper to Falmouth Grammar School in '70 under 'Taffy' John Roberts. Just before Thatcher wrecked the educational system. I still remember my first history lesson there. Mr Lucas started our learnings about our quoits, menhirs, fogous and rings. We were taught nothing of English history, only our own. First time I heard of The Queen was when Bohemian Rhapsody hit the charts😉. Remember an Gof: Kernow ha Teylu Kensa😊😎🏴☠
@@KernowekTim Hahaha I'm glad I can bring those feelings forward! Sounds like Mr Lucas did his culture proud! Thanks to my teachers I got a similar education, but would love to see a separate Kernewek History syllabus/module so all in Kernow can learn about our wonderful heritage. Though I'll say it's probably worth learning at least a little bit of the history of our neighbours in England too, given how important they are to our own history haha! 😉 Your Queen memory gave me a chuckle, cheers for watching! 🖤🤍🖤
I was at Falmouth Grammar School for the last two years of it's existence and remember Taffy Roberts as well as Peter 'Fingers' Gilson. It was Shirley Williams of the Labour party who closed it down.
@@Britonbear Williams closed it, but Thatcher, as Education secretary opened Falmouth School peviously, and there it waited for us. Pete Gilson, Mr Smith, 'Pappy' Peters, John Lucas, man that's going back. Remember when John Treloar got lifted in Assembly by the police for the "incident at Swanpool"? Treloar was a nasty piece of work. My cousin Stephen Oliver was a prefect then. We passed the 11 plus and then ended up at Trescobeas. Talk about throwing the wheat back into the chaff. I got hauled out and went to Truro School and got the shit knocked outa me for a day or two for coming from Falmouth. The ruby was good at Falmouth. I played for the highly successful 1973-74 Colts at the Recre. We were the best from the Grammar School with a handful of Trescobeas boys thrown in. Truro School hated that! Later.
Another excellent video broadening my knowledge of my home county. Ex Bude Boy here born in the Old Tree at Launceston so the right side of the Tamar. Must admit china clay was my first thought having carried many thousand of tons of it during my sea going career. Horrible stuff when it gets wet.
@@rickymherbert2899 glad to hear you enjoyed it and right side of the Tamar indeed 😉 That's an interesting first thought for sure, and I have to say not a particularly pleasant one. As an archaeologist all clay is the bane of my existence when wet 😂
Both are very appropraite first thoughts, and mining was very on topic for this video 😉 It'll be a while before I cover smuggling, but I am looking forward to getting there. Anyway, meur ras, thanks, for watching!
My pleasure! 😊 To answer your question, very briefly, yes. There was absolutely fishing and maritime exploitation happening in The Bronze Age. We don't have tons of direct evidence from Kernow, but a few excavations at some sites have uncovered shellfish and fish bones, and we know fishing was occurring in prior periods in Kernow during the stone age, as well as during the Bronze Age elsewhere in Britain. Combine that with the extensive maritime trade routes during the period, and we can infer that not only was there river, estuary and coastal exploitation ocurring for maritime resouces, but very possibly seafishing taking place too.
I absolutely love this, your videos make me feel so happy and you've got a great voice for narration!

Excellent video. I really enjoy your narration.
@@StuFliesAroundCornwall Meur Ras, thanks man! And thanks again for letting me use some of your drone footage! 🫡
In Kernow it was either Mining or Smuggling.
Both are very appropraite first thoughts, and mining was very on topic for this video 😉
It'll be a while before I cover smuggling, but I am looking forward to getting there. Anyway, meur ras, thanks, for watching!
And Fishing. My Uncles and Cousins ,through marriage, are the Vinnicombes. Mustn't forget them.
Proper job
Cheers mate!
Fascinating. Thank you. Any evidence of fishing at that time?
My pleasure! 😊
