TRANSLATION 1:

Head gardener at St Michael’s Mount, Darren Little said almost 100 of the trees had been felled by winds recorded by their weather station to have been 111mph at one point.
Gary Long, head of Trewithen near Grampound Road, said a quarter of the large mature trees there, some of which were 250 years old, had been felled by the storm.
According to Mr Little the clean-up will take between three and four months and would be harder because of the challenge of getting machinery to the tidal island and its steep gradient.
Mr Long said the Trewithen team had noted 50 fallen trees but there are more trees underneath “so we don't know".

TRANSLATION:
Sophie Alway won the award for West Country Women in Hospitality, for the Village Kitchen, a cafe in Redruth which helps fund the charity Georgia's Voice.
Alway founded Georgia's Voice after her teenage daughter took her own life during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, and she opened the cafe 18 months ago.
Alway said the charity had been actively supporting 120 women aged 18-25 and it was "absolutely amazing to get some recognition for the cafe".
Alway said the charity had welcomed more than 1,000 young women to The Chy, a counselling and drop-in hub behind the cafe during 2025.

TRANSLATION 3:
Andy Matthews, from Chacewater, found the crucibles, which were used for smelting tin and copper, on the riverbed at Calenick, near Truro, on Saturday morning.
He said the melting pots, or crucibles, had been made in Calenick sometime during the nineteenth century and were found "fairly frequently, especially after a storm".
Mr Matthews said he had found more than 40 crucibles of differing size and shape in his years of searching the riverbed for "what treasures might be found".
With Charlotte Williams, a curator from Truro, he has set up a project to research and display old Cornish bottles.
There will be exhibitions displaying the pharmaceutical and drink bottles in Liskeard, Bude and Helston in the coming months.
That’s all from me, have a good week.
