Next CHSE Regular Meeting - Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 12:00 Noon

Our yearly field trip at Hugh Force Canal Park in Wharton, NJ

We plan to have a speaker who can talk about the history of Hugh Force Canal Park because the canal played a major role in the transport of ore from the mines in which our Cornish families played so significant a part.

Please bring or email sayings that you remember hearing at home that you knew were Cornish. Let's collect these until we have enough for an interesting article. For example, when it rained hard, my grandmother would say "It's hentin down you" causing me to cringe at her use of the broad Cornish expression. Has anyone else heard that one? and "time to go up timbern 'ill" (bedtime). Were you embarrassed by the expressions you heard at home? or did you use them too?

See you on September 12th!
