My father with his parents, Cyril and Violet in 193?, captured by a street photographer.



Cyril and Violet (seated) celebrate their golden wedding anniversary at the Old Forge, Hallam, with my grandmother's sisters (l to r) Joan, Ethel and Kathleen, my father and- the gawky one in the middle- me.

I don't remember being cheerfully innocent- more like broody and sullen and a bit snooty- but I guess the camera doesn't lie. :)

Au contraire, the camera is quite capable of lying like a rug; ask anyone who has studied UFO photography. *g* Still, here it may have preserved one particular good mood for future reference.
