Jane Eyre
I’ve written about three draft posts lately and scrapped them all, guess I’m still feeling a bit unsure of what to write here. Anyway it’s been pretty uneventful this week. But I did get to finally see Jane Eyre (why is Australia so slow at getting films? It’s the same with Midnight in Paris) and despite the fact that it is a much lighter version with big omissions and changes, I actually rather liked it, a lot. Perhaps more than other versions.
I might have mentioned it but Jane Eyre is my all time favourite story, and strangely now every time I go back to it, which is probably once a year, think of Nenah Cherry and Youssou N'Dour's song 7 seconds. I had this song on (very) heavy rotation the first time I ever read the book, I think I was about 13. The two have become intertwined.

I really like the second foto. Nice, those 'pictures with feet'.
I am dying to see Jane Eyre, nobody wants to go with me so I am going to take myself on a date! I am 32 I can handle it, and I think I might quite like to go with myself! Don't be unsure of what to write, just ramble on, we love it.
I sadly have to admit I haven't read the book. Terrible, I know.
Yeah, great song. It's not on that Giant Leap cd, is it? If not, it has a similar feel which I like. I really only listen to music in the car. I'm really such a dag!!
Lovely pics by the way :)
Great song and great book...one of my all time favourites too..haven't read it in about 2 years tho.
just ordered the book - oh, and yesterday i fell in love with the poppies over at anna emilia and today with yours... the most beautiful flowers...
Oh Jane Eyre i'm impatient to see it, we have to wait until september in France :(
I love that you included your feet in the second photo. So often I make sure they are in them. This is a nice touch. I am thinking about Jane Eyre and am making an effort to read more of the classics.
Oops! I meant, so often I make sure my feet "aren't" in the photos. Must eat breakfast before typing! ;p
Ohh. Liked. A lot. Is good. Is good! Sounds like it is definitely worth a babysitter.
Love the pictures!
it certainly has had good reviews! will have to try and drag my husband out to see it!
Love that song too, isn't it funny how a song can bring back a specific memory? Do you know, I've never read Jane Eyre :) Should I read the book or watch the movie first do you think? Glad you enjoyed the film x
seven seconds........i hear ya!!!!
I'm reading Jane Eyre at the moment and I can't wait to see the film :) I'm glad to hear it was a good adaptation- judging from the preview it actually looks quite dark!
You have such a great perspective in all of your pictures! I'm just learning photography for my high school senior project. Tell me what you think of my pictures at http://seniorz012.blogspot.com/ ! Thank you!
