LFR May 9 Number 510




Welcome to the Laws Family Register. 

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

Next morning Emma awoke early, to the smell of freshly fried bacon, it made her suddenly very hungry, she slipped quickly out of bed, popped on her dressing gown and slippers, and started down the stairs. Below she could hear the clatter of plates, and the sound of a kettle whistling merrily to itself as it came to the boil.

Emma was surprised, when coming down into the room; she saw not her father, but a large woman of mature years bustling about like a mother hen.

          "Hello, Who are you?" Emma asked, but then she remembered, "Are you Mary? You are aren't you? She asked hopefully.

          "Course I am" the woman replied smiling at Emma, “Who else would I be, But there again at this time of year, village is full of strangers.”

“Mind you, some is stranger than others " She continued "Master Robert has gone up to the harbour, said he would be back in five minutes you'd better start without him. I'll do tea and toast when he comes in, now you'll be having a proper breakfast, not like lots of young people today ".

          "Where is that boy!" Mary said to herself " Master Robert will be talking to the fishermen, the vicar, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, and woe betide us if he meets Emily Brown, it'll be after lunch when he returns"

She then turned and smiled at Emma " I don’t suppose your dad has changed a bit that way, for all his years. A postman talks to everyone, its part of his job, especially hereabouts.”

“Why when I was a girl, and working at the big house over at St. Davids’ postman was expected to play a game of tennis, before going on his way, mind you they had more time then, no vans then, I remember that man rode an old brown donkey.

          "Hello, Is anyone up there?" a voice called from outside the kitchen window, which startled Emma for she knew her father’s voice,

          "Where are you, Dad?" she called back.

          "Down here, in the boat" he replied, "Not floating on thin air, like Emily Brown".

"There’s a basket with a line attached, lower it down and I'll pop in the groceries and then if you pull them up, I'll follow up this iron ladder.”
         
          Emma stepped out of the kitchen on to a little balcony, and looking down she saw her father some twelve feet below her mooring a boat to a ring on the sea wall. Emma found the basket and lowered it to her father, who loaded the groceries into it.

          "OK Emma, Pull it up. I'm coming up now.” he turned and called down. “I'll see you later Will. "

It was only at the mention of this name that Emma noticed a boy about her own age get up from behind the sail. He untied the boat, and pushed off from the sea wall, and a sudden breath of wind filled the sails and it was off, dancing over the waves like a cork.  
         
          “Who’s that, Dad?”

Mary replied before Robert was able to answer, “That was Emily Browns’ sisters’ boy, William Brown, you’re bound to see him about the village, he seems to pop up just when you least expect it, a bit like his aunt”

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...
