Always.
This is my favourite photo of us. I call it 'Fishwives'.
It always reminds me of Anton Vogt's description of Janet and Jacquie Baxter as being "like a couple of peasant women" when he encountered them travelling through France together. Giggling and joking.
Everyone was always laughing when Janet was around. She was such fun.
And I love the way she keeps coming up with delightful surprises even now that she's dead.

Wow Ms Pamela, l was once your student in Sociolinguistics @ Otago circa 1997 . You are an inspiration, as much as your aunt is/was/is.

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words :-) I'm delighted that you have made contact! I remember your class, I learnt so much that year and I often think of your group fondly. I did love teaching especially when the students were themselves active participants in the educational process!
Warm regards, Pamela
