As a huge fan of Jane Eyre over many years, I loved the portrayal of her as a 'buttoned-up' heroine and could totally see what Rochester saw in her.

I found Silas Marner rather a grim story overall, a life lived in such narrow limits, but can see how it was also a novel about hope. Especially during this time of isolation, finding ways to connect to new sources of enjoyment and affection are vital!

Petra as you probably know was the Nabataean capital circa 300 B.C. The head is approx. 13 cms. long. Why make a ram’s head? Does it have anything to do with Aries or sacrifice. We know from Isaiah in the Old Testament that many Judeans were given sanctuary in what is now Jordan.<br /><br />Rebecca Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891359094476023032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743881761292140356.post-72309691330712537022017-05-25T07:58:39.298-07:002017-05-25T07:58:39.298-07:00Hi Guy
