Hi,

I was looking though some photos of my grandparents and found this one of them sitting on a wall during their holiday in 1922. They are the ones facing the camera, sat next to them are a couple who are turning their heads round over their shoulders towards the camera.  Correct me if I'm wrong but does the man have a bucket balanced on his hat? A bucket such as children use on the beach that is.

what a great photo, and yes it looks like a bucket. He must have had a great sense of humour, whoever he is.

I'm glad I wasn't seeing things.  Perhaps that's why they're laughing.
