GRANDAD'S SLIDES (PART 54) - MYSTERIOUS BLUE BOX

SLIDES 0468-70

Time: Unknown (but probably some point in 1957)

Suddenly we're transported to Scotland... 

Well, at least I think that it is.

This is, however, more guesswork, but the third picture does give more than a hint that we might be on the right track.

Why the pictures suddenly switch to Scotland in the middle of a batch of photographs of Switzerland is anyone's guess, and perhaps speak of some long-forgotten reason in Grandad's slide presentation evenings that we are now unlikely to ever know.

Maybe the box got dropped and the slides were hastily returned to the drawers?

Maybe there's some narrative unfolding that requires this sudden excursion?

Maybe they suddenly realised that they weren't actually married at all and made a hasty diversion to Gretna to remedy the situation...?

Maybe it's all about some weird unfathomable chronology known only to the tangled knot of time that my ancestors inhabit?

Who knows...?

We will, however, be returning to Europe later on in these pictures, perhaps picking up where we left off, or, maybe, visiting a completely different country at a completely different time...?

The mysterious blue box may know all, but it's keeping its secrets to itself.
