These children's anthropomorphic gravestones provided Charles Dickens with the inspiration for Pip's poor dead brothers in his novel Great Expectations. In fact, they are to members of the wealthy Comport family, some of whom lived at Cooling Castle, today home of the television personality Jools Holland. The opening scene of Great Expectations, when Pip meets the convict Abel Magwitch, takes place in Cooling churchyard.
As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, "Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine - who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle - I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence."
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations, 1861

The locals tell a tale of a wealthy man who became mad from a broken heart when his wife left him. He never finished the castle. 60 years on, the castle still radiated out sorrow. It reminded me of the castle in "Great Expectations" (Charles Dickens) where lived the wealthy, half-mad Miss Havisham who was jilted on her wedding day

My expectations before visiting the doctor last Friday were that I would be able to walk again normally from that day on. The reality is that each time I stand on this foot and I walk, my hurted foot and leg starts to burn. Friday I could only walk for 5 minutes without sitting. Today, Sunday I can already walk for 10 :D

Mis expectativas antes de ir al médico el viernes eran que podría volver a andar felizmente desde el mismo día. La realidad ha sido que cada vez que apoyo el pie y ando, empiezo a notar ardores y fuego en mi pie y mi perna. El viernes no podía andar más de 5 minutos sin sentarme. Hoy ya puedo aguantar hasta 10 :D

Expectations are still something that I struggle with. While I am aware that expectations of people are natural and even I have expectations of others, i still hard a very hard time with them. As I am progressing through life, the things that people expect of him tend to build. I do my best to try to meet all these expectations, but what I consider my best, is never enough. At this moment in my life I am learning. I will not always be able to preform on every task and do everything right the first time. The area where I seem to fall the hardest is with my art. As I am given assignments for class and by the time i believe i have produced a beautiful image, i end up doing the wrong thing or doing a terrible job. I am very defensive over my work when given a general topic to cover. (Working with clients is a completely different story) I know my artwork does not seem to impress at times, but it impresses me and always ends up how i like it. Isn't that what being an artist is about? Expressing yourself through your work and not from the ideas of others? That's why I love being an artist so much and consider myself blessed to be good at this profession. Without it, I don't know what would bring me through life. Expectations are just hard for me to deal with. I end up getting too much expected out of me and let people down which is something I am not comfortable with. I love making people happy and giving them something to smile about. Letting people down is just one of those things that i can't do. By struggling with people's expectations, I feel as though that's all i do.
Some photos I took in the studio on school today, the inspiration was Munch and the photos are "Art photography".
Went to look round a house today. There's a new development being built in a lovely village just outside Bristol - the kind of lovely village that has great schools, beautiful views, a fantastic community feel... and no houses on the market because noone wants to leave.
We've been talking in a very abstract sense about moving for some time, but I'd always said not yet. Until I saw this development. I am clearly a marketing executive's dream - in my head I've already moved in, despite the fact that not a brick has been laid yet. Oh dear.
Since no houses are built on this site yet, we had to travel to Bridgwater to see a show home of the same type on a different development. The show home was a work of art - they clearly have their target demographic very well characterised - with this wedding dress on a mannequin in the sewing room/4th bedroom. Oh so aspirational donchathink?
So all in all I think this is a pretty appropriate picture for Great Expectations in the scavenger hunt, though admittedly it's a little less cobwebby than Miss Haversham's dress.
