We begin the news in Cornish this week with the news that Lucy, a two-month-old Shetland pony foal which was stolen from its mother has been found five weeks later, more than 300 miles away. Listen out for these Cornish words: ebel [EBB-ell], foal, leth [lay-th], milk, and ladrans [LAD-rans], theft.

TRANSLATION:
Lucy was taken from farmland near Allet in July, leaving her owner Jean Curd extremely concerned about the foal's health since she had been reliant on her mother's milk. Ms Curd said Lucy's mother Nancy had been "really distraught".
Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed officers had found Lucy at a caravan park in Hertfordshire on 21 August after receiving information from a member of the public.
The foal was reunited with her mother the same day and investigations of the theft are still under way.
Ms Curd said: "I was desperately worried about Lucy because she was so young - I never thought she was going to live.鈥�

PRESENTER:
Our next story is about the former bank in a Cornwall town which has been turned into an intimate 65-seater cinema and found a loyal following from the community. Listen for these Cornish words: Essa [ES-a], Saltash, arghanti [ar-HAN-tea], bank, and gonisogeth [gon-iss-SOG-eth], culture.

TRANSLATION
Salt Arts CIC, a not-for-profit social enterprise in Saltash, operates the cinema having taken over the lease of a former bank, which closed seven years ago.
The restoration of the derelict building has cost 拢140,000, with leaks in the roof and dilapidated rooms, paid for with grants including Cornwall Council's Levelling Up Fund and Saltash Town Council.
Lindsay Endean, director of Saltash Studios, said: "I'm a strong believer that bringing art and culture into town centres makes them lovely, friendly, prosperous places to live."
Saltash has not had a cinema since The Regal closed in 1964 and Ms Endean saw the opportunity to open one when the lease of the bank came up two years ago.

PRESENTER:
Our final story concerns the couple with a passion for churchyard maintenance. Listen out for the following Cornish words: Egloshalow [egg-loss-HAL-oh], Illogan, korflan [CORFE-lan], churchyard, and bagas [BAG-as], team or group.

TRANSLATION
Illogan Churchyard has become a home-from-home for David and Jean Glasson.
For almost 20 years the couple have led the volunteer team taking care of the plot.
"We enjoy coming out and we have made a lot of friends out here, which is lovely," said Mrs Glasson.
"It's a pleasure to do it, a satisfaction, especially when people come and look for graves, and we find them, that's better still."
Mr Glasson added: "The churchyard means a lot to me because you relax here."
The churchyard is part of the Living Churchyard Scheme, and is an important local source of biodiversity.
That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week.
