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.”
