Memorial to Tanya Burr, killed 15 September 2002

Aged 1 year to 18 months

Terrorising Tricia - as usual - in May 1982. 

When Tanya was five weeks old and yelling her head off on my lap, Tricia started as she probably wished to continue by standing up from sleeping in front of the fire, strolling across the room, jumping up onto the couch beside me and biting Tanya's arm. For her trouble she made the fastest trip back across to the other side of the room that probably she ever did. She never did that again.

Tanya's famous trick of this particular day in November 1982, was to sit down fully clothed in a puddle and to pretend it was a swimming pool. It kept her entertained for ages - and us in hysterics. Trudi-Ann (whose backyard this was) was less convinced. This is supposed to be coloured, but the reflection of the window it was taken through (after rushing down the road to get my camera) has upset the scanner.
