Welcome to the Laws Family Register. 

================================================================

The flight of steps led steeply up the cliff, firstly between the cottages, then between high walls behind which secret gardens hummed with honeybees, when they reached the top they came to the old church and its surrounding graveyard.

Emma sat on an old stone to catch her breath, and suddenly got that feeling that she was being watched, all the hairs on the back of her neck prickled, and those on the cat stood up and it started to growl angrily deep in its throat. She looked around but saw no one, but the feeling remained, then looking deep into the shadows she perceived a pair of shining amber eyes watching her, which promptly disappeared.

Emma looked around for the owner of those eyes but could not find them. It was then that she saw a paw print at the edge of a puddle. It was huge, not that of the cat, which was still sat where, they had stopped but that of an animal much larger altogether.

Turning to the cat she said, ”Did you see that?” The cat replied with a knowing “Meow” and suddenly dashed off down the steps. At which moment, she heard someone clearing their throat as if about to speak and turning back, she saw a boy with a bunch of flowers kneeling by a gravestone, only yards from her.

“Hello” he said quietly, “I’m William.”

Emma smiled and replied “Yes I know, my dad told me, who are the flowers for?”

“Just friends, well, your great uncle and aunt actually, Look this is their grave.”

“Emma looked and saw that the stone was engraved with their names, Robert Nelson, R. N. and his wife Louise, late of this parish. They stood up and walked to the steps, and as they descended to the village below they chatted and laughed as if they had known each other for always.

When Emma returned to Captains Row she found her mother just getting out of the car and her father struggling with her bags. Mary bustled around everyone, as ever the mother hen, everyone too excited to take in what Emma had to tell, she was of course, pleased to find her mother had arrived, but disappointed to see that she had her left foot in plaster and walked with the aid of crutches. Later she discovered that her mother had tripped over their pet cat at home.

LFR 22 Aug Number 615

North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland Welcome to the Laws Family Register.   A Child of  the Twenties A suburban childhood of the Twenties  seen from the Ninteen Nineties by my late father John Robert Laws 1921-2008 Part 16 Holidays 1, Holidays at that time meant the seaside, and the seaside meant the East Coast, Sunshine, East winds sand, and an icy grey sea. June was the preferred month, until school became important enough to interfere. My mother packed vast quantities of clothing in a big cabin trunk, which must have gone on ahead; it certainly didn’t come in the car with us. It took a good three hours to cover seventy odd miles to the coast.  Bypass was an almost unknown word and certainly wasn’t applicable to even the Essex county town of Colchester, the first time of two, that we went that way. One was built in the next couple of years but now some sixty odd years later has been virtu...
