I forgot to mention:
The night before last I dreamed I was a deposed monarch all night. Apparently I and my deceased parents were found washed up on the shore. The lady knew my parents were dead royalty when a flock of swallows flew from their mouths. So I grew up knowing I was royal and that people were out to get me. It was weird.
And yesterday I bought the most beautiful brooch from a vintage clothing store on Chapel street in Penzance. It's an oval piece of ivory deeply carved into an east Asian scene with flowering tree, japanese-type houses, and little people. It's set in a handmade silver setting and has a safety chain with a little safety pin at the end, also handmade.
It's a wonderful piece. I'll post pictures in a few days.
