<p dir="auto">… and I completely failed to hide "Pickle" by experimenting with Mastodon addresses at the foot of the page! Oops. Only two steps away was <a href="https://beige.party/@fuzzy/116308465573131708" rel="nofollow ugc">https://beige.party/@fuzzy/116308465573131708</a> with Pickle (the cat) in all four photos.</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto">The people in the photograph above are on my mother's side: great grandmother and grandmother, who I never met; my aunts Ivy and Rose, their brother George, their cousin Ina, and my mum Anne as a baby. Neither Ivy nor George had children.</p>
<p dir="auto">After George's death, I heard his voice in conversation with Anne and Rose. All three of them were alive.</p>
<p dir="auto">Can you guess the hidden history that explains the voice?</p>
