Henry Lawes
1595-1662
Lord, help me dig into the past
and sift the sands of time
that I might find the roots that made
this family tree of mine
Lord, help me trace the ancient roads, on which our fathers trod, which led them through so many lands, to find our present sod.
Lord help me find an ancient book or dusty manuscript, that's safely hidden now away, In some forgotten crypt.
Lord help me find an ancient book
or dusty manuscript,
that's safely hidden now away,
In some forgotten crypt.
Lord, let it bridge the gap, that haunts my soul when I can't find, that missing link between some name, that ends the same as mine.
A childhood of the
1920's as seen from the 1990'sbyJohn Robert Laws 1921-2008Part 22
Further Afield 2
The school journeys abroad were more of a revelation than the camps. Package holidays had not yet been dreamed up and although the wealthy might holiday in the South of France or, you could ‘Join the Army and see the world’, the general urge to travel was only just beginning.
I recall a book called ‘France on ten pounds’ but only a few had the inclination, the time and the ten pounds, to follow its inviting advice. Trips by school parties must have whetted the appetite of many in the latter part of the years between the wars.
We went to Paris in 1937, the year of the big Paris Exhibition. It was immediately evident that our French was not their French, understanding some of the written signs seemed to be our limit. As well as the historic buildings of the city which are compulsory viewing for all visitors we were able to visit the exhibition, grandiosely laid out with a long vista of lakes and fountains down a slope towards the Eiffel Tower. The contents of the impressive pavilions seemed insignificant compared to the buildings particularly the Soviet building surmounted by enormous figures of a man and a woman holding aloft a hammer and a sickle.
What we really enjoyed, however, was the roller coaster ride which must have made tame all previous efforts in this direction. This and the ascent of the Eiffel Tower, which laid out a map of Paris below us were the highlights of the day of sunshine and unnoticed footslogging.
Of the conventional sights of Paris, the stained glass impressed me most and then the white mass of Sacre’ Coeur on its hill looking down on the city, where the ever-present taxis hurtled round corners blaring on their horns. The traffic must have been light or they could not have done it.
Our few days of cultural duty in Paris done, we had a day or two at Wimereau on the channel coast, lazing, swimming and sitting on the beach. The beach was vast and flat with a good stiff breeze for the sand yachts which trundled along and across at a fair pace. A new sight for me then and one which I have never seen since.
Even now there seems to be an air of the past, over the French channel coast resorts, even those destroyed in the war and have been since rebuilt, it would have been impossible to have imagined one to be on the English side of the channel.
=================================
In 1938 the school trip was to Italy, this was much more adventurous even apart from the political troubles which led to the war a year later. We left Southgate tube station in the late afternoon to get the train from London and crossed the channel overnight to get to another train to trundle across France and through the fantastic alpine scenery to Milan in Northern Italy.
Milan was just hot. We duly admired the thousand or so little spires of the enormous cathedral but saw very little or the ornate interior because we were shooed out on account of our short sleeves,
Florence and Verona were different, they still are, despite the ravages of the motor car, and even as teenagers, I think we appreciated their beauty and agelessness despite our considerable interest in ice cream and fizzy bottled orangeade which we had discovered. You see little in a couple of days but these visits like the Italian ice cream awakened a taste for more.
No loitering, however, on to Venice which was busy being itself, more quietly than it does now. We duly traversed the Grand Canal by Vaporetto, under the Rialto Bridge and on to St Marks Square and the pigeons. It was memorable and it all matched the guide books so we went on to the Lido for a swim in the Med. This was a real revelation.
The water was WARM not like the sea we knew at home. You could stay in without getting cold. The discovery of the journey.
More trains, wooden seats, all tracks lead to Rome, a quick glimpse really, a full week spent wandering around Rome in later life only scratched the surface.
More trains, more wooden seats down south to Napoli. This was before the motor car engulfed Italy and I have photos to prove it showing the Naples seafront with nothing more than a couple of policemen and a tricycle ice cream vendor.
We did not see the slums of Naples, but we did visit a home, hutted camp that is, for orphans who were at least fed and clothed while they learned to shout for 'Il Duce’.
We were treated to a glass of sweet wine and a speech in Italian pledging friendship from a uniformed gent who presumably ran the place. Back at the hotel that evening we ate at tables set in the open air under a lemon tree from which I had to pick a small souvenir

Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands amongst the rest,
neglected and alone
on polished marble stone
It reaches out to all who care, it is too late to mournYou did not know that I exist, you died and I was bornYet each of us, are cells of you, in flesh, in blood, in bone.Our blood contracts and beats a pulse entirely not our own
Dear Ancestor, The place you filled one hundred years agoSpreads out amongst the ones you left who would have loved you so,I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knewThat someday I would find this spot and come to visit you.
