'Look at me. You aren't afraid of a woman who has never seen the sun since before you were born? '
I've had a lifelong fascination with Charles Dickens’ Miss Havisham. Part grand lady, part spectre in tulle. The jilted bride, locking herself and her broken heart up in the Satis house, to yellow and become brittle like the icing on the wedding cake waiting on the nuptial breakfast table.
She still provides Inspiration as long and intricate as the cobwebs on her bridal veil.
