LFR May 6 Number 507




Welcome to the Laws Family Register. 

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

They slowly got into the Landrover and continued on their way, arriving at the ferry just as it departed for the other side of the river.

“Back in a Jif, Master Robert.”  The boatman called.
.
To Emma the ferry seemed very old and later that evening she would describe it to her mother on the telephone as a ‘Bit of old roadway with a ramp at each end, sitting on a lot of rowing boats’.

Just then a load horn made Emma jump and, round a bend in the river and up to then hidden from their eyes, came an enormous ship that looked almost too big for the narrow river, "She's the San Demetrio, registered in Lisbon, she’ll be loaded with China Clay ". Robert informed Emma.

When the ferry returned they drove on, and without waiting for anyone else the ferryman set off, the tide by this time was coming in fast and as he fought to keep the ferry straight he kept up a one sided conversation,

          "Down for your hols again, Are ye' Master Robert, seems only days since we last saw ye’...odd nowadays not seeing your' aunt 'bout village”

He continued, without waiting for a reply “Now then.” he said looking at Emma, in a startlingly direct fashion. “I remember bringing your father, -- from Par station when he was no bigger than you are now, -- mind you,” He said wistfully, “That was in the ol’’ days when we had a proper station and real trains. Remember that, Master Robert?” he added, as a statement rather than a question.
         
“Can we see the cottage yet Dad?” Emma asked hopefully, it had been a long journey and she had, had enough of travelling for one day.
         
          “Yes” he replied as he pointed across the river. “Do you see the one with the little pointed roof, right on the waterside, that's it.”
         
         The ferryman grinned and said. “Still got your grandfathers name on the door, Mary polishes that every day, he looked at Robert. “That's my missus, but of course you know that don't ye.”

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...
