This is something that I have only come to terms with very recently. In fact the realisation has made me feel rather uncomfortable. Recently I have joined an LGTB+ social group, something I have shied away from previously. However, having relocated to a new area several hundred miles away from my previous location I registeredContinue reading “Trans enough”

It was a chilly evening and I had been feeling a bit low during the day. No particular reason other than allowing a couple of work issues to get to me more than was necessary. Nothing wrong with that, it is unrealistic not to expect blips from time to time. So I was not enthusiasticContinue reading “New places”

Glancing through media today I came across two articles which to my mind highlight the differences currently being banded about on Trans issues. The first one I came across was on the front page of the Scottish edition of The Times. It’s headline was in larger print than the headline article on the front pageContinue reading “A Tale of two articles.”

The name for this blog. I received a post from an App I follow which came in with the heading “It’s never too late”. It is a new moon, the new moon represents a new start, a blank slate and a fresh start each month. It says “during this month you may potentially be findingContinue reading “It is never too late”

My son asked me whether I had any plans when he wished me a happy birthday yesterday. Survive another year was my initial response and then answered his question, “yes, a birthday meal this evening at home”. My friends surprised me and took me out for a meal. I had a lovely time with goodContinue reading “Another year”

Sometimes it is good to be brought back to basics. I have always had a tendency to look at the big picture, take a broad brush approach to life. I have moved back in with my friends who were the catalyst for me to look at and change my approach to many things. To beContinue reading “Basics”

Well my fears seem to be proving to be well founded. Jo Maugham a director of an organisation for which I have a lot of respect and time for, The Good Law Project, has commented with his view of the present government direction on trans rights saying “what is being done to Trans people inContinue reading “Worrying times”

Well what a week since my last post. I have mainly tried to avoid politics however at the moment politics seems to be in your face day in day out. So since my last post we have lost a Prime Minister and gained another. I wanted a general election but as yet that is notContinue reading “Same old”

It has been two weeks since I posted a blog. A lot has happened in just two weeks. I have moved from England to Scotland moving in to a house share with the friends I had previously shared a house. So far the move has exceeded expectations. It is lovely to be living with compatibleContinue reading “Two weeks is a long time”

This has been another mixed week. On the one hand I experienced the kindness of strangers, on the other I simply cannot understand what this government thinks they are doing. I have been sorting through boxes which have been in storage for sometime and found some framed photos from when my son passed his militaryContinue reading “Mixed experiences”
