TRANSLATION:The photographer, Peter Puddiphatt, witnessed the transformation of privately-owned Land'sEnd from a simple tourist attraction to a modern destination with a visitor centre.He said: "It's a wonderful place with amazing views, sunsets, cloud formations and hugewaves. It never gets tiring."He said he had seen basking sharks, humpback whales and bluefin tuna from the famoussignpost.He was a signpost photographer from 1979 to 1984 and rejoined the team in 2000.He has also met many celebrities, including Brian Cox and Dawn French.He has also met hundreds of people raising money for charities.He had to adapt to the changing times, from film to digital cameras, from hard copies toemail transfers and social media.He said: "We've used quite a few cameras over the years.
PRESENTER:Our next story follows the another photographer who showcases the lives of young Cornishwomen through her work. Listen out for the Cornish for postcard (karten bost), ice cream(dehen rew) and fisherman (pyskador).

TRANSLATIONFran Rowse's photos are a world away from the picture-postcard image of Cornwall served up to tourists. Instead of beach towel-toting holidaymakers, her vision is more gritty and, she says, realistic. But there is also a message that runs like a stick of rock through her images, about female identity in Cornwall. "I come from a fishing and farming family, my brother was swept up into this world of, 'you're gonna be a fisherman', and then I was kind of left in a 'when are you getting married?' kind of situation鈥 she said. Fran, from Perranporth, is revealing some of the background motivations to her work, captured in a series of photographs titled Maids. 鈥淚 wanted to show girls where they really live, away from tourism, away from beaches, away from ice cream shops, because that is a fa莽ade that's false.鈥 Her series of photographs, called Maids, has resulted in a book, thriving social media, and shows in London, Bristol and Newlyn Art Gallery.
PRESENTER:Our final story concerns the awarding of a Knighthood to Dicky Evans, owner of the Cornish Pirates. The words for rugby and football are rugbi and peldroos.RECORDING 3:Evans re beu aswonys rag y wonisyow rag negys, sport hag alusen yn Kernow ha Kenya.Evans a sawys an klub rugbi Pennsans ha Lulynn y鈥檔 bledhynnyow mil naw kans deg ha peswar ugens hag y arghans a skoodhyas an transformyans dhe鈥檔 Vorladron Gernewek ha鈥檔 sevel dhe鈥檔 Gampyorieth.Ev a brenas Klub Peldroos Cita Truru yn dew vil ha nownsek hag y skoodhyas ev aga arghasans dres Kovid.鈥淣y alsa bos moy a varth po a enor dhymm鈥 yn-medh Syr Richard, genys yn Pensans veu ev.鈥淎npossybyl yw grassa dhe bubonan yn unnik rag an gweres a rens orthiv dres an bledhynnyow, yn bewnans, sport hag alusen.

TRANSLATIONEvans has been recognised for his services to business, sport and charity both in Cornwall and Kenya. Evans saved Penzance & Newlyn RFC in the 1990s and his finances supported the transformation to Cornish Pirates and rise to the Championship. He bought Truro City FC in 2019 and supported their finances during Covid. "I couldn't have been more surprised or more honoured," Penzance-born Sir Richard said. "It is impossible to thank everyone individually for the help that they have given me over the years, in life, business, sport and charity. This honour is simply recognition of everyone's efforts over decades.鈥 Evans studied as a civil engineer. He helped to improve water supplies to growers in Kenya, setting up his own successful horticultural business in the 1980s.聽
That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week.PRESENTER: Thank you 鈥 this week鈥檚 An Nowodhow was written and read by Kensa Broadhurst and the editor was Steve Harris. You can listen to the programme again via 大象传媒 Sounds
