This is a picture of my Uncle John and Auntie Doris, taken 75 years ago. I have lived with this picture all of my life - seeing it as a child, sticking out of crumbling photo albums; as an adult, confined to cardboard boxes of family memories; and as an old man, where it has become an exercise in scanning and saving. One unanswered question has stayed with me all that time: what on earth was in that brown paper parcel?
