I like learning #Cornish and other languages, making games, and fantasy fiction.
I live in Paignton, Devon.

This kind of sums a language I've been constructing for a long time, for use in my fantasy fiction and games (as well as a personal code, of sorts).

📣 12,000 cases and counting — thank you, Torbay!

Since becoming your MP last summer, my team and I have worked on over 12,000 issues, from housing and health to animal rights and the environment. Each case reflects someone seeking support or change, and I’m proud to stand up for our community.

My re dhallathas podkast yn Kernewek! I've started a podcast in Cornish!

Just a bit of fun, where I read some of the texts I've written during my course, go over the vocab and read again so you get a bit of listening practice. Have a listen if you're interested.
