While Colm and I were clearing out the cupboards in one of the bedrooms in the presbytery we found this tiny contact print wedged behind one of the shelves.
It was only because we had decided to remove the shelf that we found it as it was totally hidden from sight.
Had it fallen behind, or been put there deliberately and forgotten?
(Remember only nuns had lived in this house since thirty odd years and previous to that it had been the parish priest)

On the back in neat French script it says

Novembre 1953
Alain
18 Mois

He would be 56 now.
