G7 Summit Cornwall

Well, it's over and the politicians have departed in their big cars and aircraft leaving the rest of us to clear up and to see if there is to be a legacy.

The UEFA European Football Championship contended by the men's national teams are now underway. The Celtic national teams that have qualified for the tournament are Wales and Scotland. There are twenty-four teams now battling through the group stages of the competition. Wales had their first match on Saturday (12th June) with a 1-1 draw with Switzerland.

The Chronicle of Fortingall is a Highland Perthshire manuscript written in Latin, Scots and Gaelic. It was compiled between 1554 and 1579 and includes poetry, short texts, and records of contemporary events. The contents include lists of Scottish kings and notes on their reigns, a Gaelic poem in a writing system based on Middle Scots, a chronicle recording the deaths of prominent men and women within the Highlands from 1390 to 1579 and a list of battles from Bannockburn (1314) to Flodden (1513). The Chronicle has now been secured for the Scottish nation.

This week marks the anniversary of the death of King Robert I of Scotland (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329) popularly known as Robert the Bruce. He became King of Scotland in 1306. Revered as a national hero he reigned as King of Scots until his death in 1329. Robert led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England and fought successfully to regain Scotland's place as an independent country.

Crisis Hits Cornwall - Is Anybody Listening?

The efforts of Cornwall Councillors Julian German and Andrew Mitchell in their meeting with the distant and uncaring Westminster Government's Minister for Housing and Rough Sleeping, Eddie Hughes MP, are to be commended and we thank them for telling the out of touch politician up there about the disastrous effects of the now out of control second homes market in Cornwall.
