Tamar (2007)
“And I hardly saw it. The traffic was a torrent that swept us onto the bridge before we could pull over.
“Yoyo, slow down! I want to look!”
He tried. From behind, a vast truck blared rage at us.
“Shit!”
On my side, the view was wrecked by the huge iron arches of the Victorian railway bridge. All I could make out were flickering glimpses of a shapeless expanse of water, boats, humps of land in the distance. I turned, straining against my seat belt to see past Yoyo, and all I saw was the side of a... big white van travelling alongside. I slumped back, wailing, and then we were in Cornwall. Or, as Yoyo soon started to call it, Tamarland. We passed houses called Tamar View, Tamar Nook, Tamar Villa. We passed the Tamar Restaurant, Tamar Auto Sales, the Tamar MiniMart, Tamar Marine Services, Tamar Insurance.
Yoyo, of course, thought it was hilarious. “So cool,” he said. “You are everything here! You’re famous. Maybe at these places you would get, you know, what-you-call-it, discount.”MoreLess
