A la fin du siècle dernier sévissait au lieu-dit Coataudon en Guipavas une troupe de saltimbanques endimanchés écumant fêtes et pardons. De cette époque révolue, il reste aujourd'hui quelques irréductibles dont le gout pour faire trembler les planchers variés ne s'est pas tari.
Cela aurait pu s'appeler "Lena hag ar baotred", "Le Quintin Quintet" ou encore "Reviens Gaston, y'aura p't'être une danse léon" … mais après moult palabres, il fut choisit un nom court, concis, et .. combien représentatif de leur esprit "torr penn" : Torr Penn.
En fins gourmets, amateurs de style et purée, les cinq joyeux lardons savent apprécier à sa juste valeur un bon canard à l'arrache de temps à autres. Réputé pour son bon gout à outrance, sa maîtrise parfaite du contre-pain et de la figue, sa facilité le trouver le thon juste, Torr Penn réjouit vos papilles autant que vos mamies.
Alors, ouvrez grands vos orteils, … Hummm bon ça!

As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
