Aspiration and Might 
Wish I had seen this in time to attend. The victorian gothic writers have not been appreciated enough. I am involved with a 17th century reenacting group and researching folk/fairy tales of the period.The gothic revival in the 17th century has aspects which would appeal to modern day goths, in particular the jewellery. Sorry I can go on too much. I am so happy to have met you Alison and Colin. Thankyou for the invitation. xxx
