  1. Clare, have been buried under lots of work and am just emerging with time and space on my hands to look back at some of your blogs – this is so funny! Thank you. I especially love your
    The Awakening Conscience, by William Holman Hunt. Have you read ‘The Crimson Petal and the White’ by Michael Faber? I actually saw it on BBC2 last year and feel the book/TV drama brings to life the lives of the two people in the painting. If you get chance to watch it, do. It’s beautifully and lavishly filmed, has a brilliant cast of actors which includes the divine Gillian Anderson.

  2. Absolutely! Her disintegrating Miss Havisham embodied a really creepy and multi-layered lost soul which was reflected by the way she spoke in a voice which seemed to be peeling (like her skin) into paper thin tissue … everything about her was spidery!!!

  4. thank you Clare for alerting me about my shop announcement section for The Flaming Pearl. when i got back from my holiday I forgot to change that section! ooops! I think there are a couple more pictures of me in my Gravatar profile. just click on my picture and it will take you to them.

    i had a dream last night about shaving my hair off. i have always wanted to do that but as i have aged it has become less appealing to me. the closest i got was when i was 45 i cut it all to about 1″ all over. in the dream last night some men were after me to cut my hair because they wanted to sell it. so i knew they were going to overpower me and take it anyway so i thought i would just do it myself and then not give them the satisfaction of taking it from me. so i took scissors in hand and went into the bathroom and cut it all down to about 1″ again. it look really cute and i then hesitated once more to shave it all off. i woke up this morning late as i haven’t been sleeping well the past few nights and remembered the dream. it was a bizarre dream, but then that isn’t unusual for me! i have vivid bizarre dreams quite regularly.

    hope you have a lovely day! pamela
