LAWS FAMILY REGISTER Apr 28 Number 499




Welcome to the Laws Family Register. 

================================================================
Little Silver Bells

by me

Part 3
Later the same day Robert and Laura decided to go down to the beach, while there they met and talked to a couple, who were exercising their dogs, Robert thought that their faces were familiar, but couldn't put a name to them.
         
"Are you on holiday?" the man enquired pleasantly.

"Yes we are," Robert answered.

Robert told the man that they had holidays in Scotland for years and adored it, but one day they would do it, move in for good.

His wife, if wife she was, stood shyly behind him, always in his shadow so that Robert couldn't get a good look at her, she appeared to be slim, with long raven hair that streamed out across her face in the freshening wind.

Laura asked, "Where are you living.”

The woman replied in a soft lilting voice not unlike her own "We're at Scarlaw, by the Watch Water, not far from Longformacus, you'll not be knowing it!"

"That’s odd,” Robert replied. "I know it very well; it's where the old man sits on the seat outside the cottage.”

He remembered past years walking up the valley to the reservoir, and repeatedly seeing an old man sitting outside the ruined cottage on the other side of the water. They had even thought of buying it but had decided that to restore the cottage would probably cost more than it was worth.

“We’ve a seat outside the front door, but there are no old people thereabouts, we're the only ones living up there, now."      
         
Robert explained that they were staying at Dirrington, not one mile down the valley from Scarlaw, Robert was sure he was not mistaken about the old man, but rather than cause an argument decided not to pursue the matter, then a few spots of rain fell so they said goodbye and made their way back to where the truck was parked.

The wind by now was blowing hard, and before they had gone many yards, the weather turned suddenly very cold, the sky clouded up, and steady rain started to fall. The journey back was uneventful, and when they got to Dirrington, the rain was falling like stair rods, the coach-yard had become a mass of puddles, and they dashed into the porch, to avoid getting soaked.

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...
