Kernow spoken here??

 



One of the fun incidents of our trip to the Smokies happened one day when we stopped at a pull-off to see if we wanted to hike there. A man came up and asked if we were from Cornwall (England)! He is from Penzance, and grew up just 4 miles from Hayle, where Grandpa Rowe grew up! He had seen the bumper sticker on the back of the car that Sue had picked up on our trip to Cornwall in May-June 2006, and as he tramped off on his hike, he asked in Cornish if we spoke the language. Unfortunately, no. I wish I had thought to ask his name.

Is that the first time someone has noticed the bumper sticker?
