Kiss Me Quick and Rock and Roll

Not afraid to be me... Feeling motivated

So I was heading Northwest on a coach towards Blackpool, I wasn't daunted but I knew I would be on uncharted territory... I had been there before but this felt different for the right reasons.

I checked into my hotel at the top end of town and settled in. It was a blustery day so I had to be prepared for that. I dressed accordingly and made my way out to the tram stop. Bought my ticket and the conductor said thank you darling.... great start... By the time I got to Fleetwood it was lashing down with rain so I decided to head back... my ticket was valid a week so I wasn't wasting it.

Anyway I got back and decided to stay in and have a drink in the bar.

Next morning was better and I headed into town and specifically the Sealife Centre and Madame Tussauds. I loved it, looking at the fantastic creatures and didn't feel out of place. The girl at the ticket desk was very friendly. I then went to Madame Tussauds and posed with some of the waxworks. See below for some of the fun I had. I later went to the Airport for a aviation fix too.

Later in the evening I decided to go to one of the LGBTQ friendly bars to have a few drinks. I sat down and instantly was beckoned over. I felt great and welcomed. Suddenly I had a tap on the shoulder, it was the girl from the Sealife Centre, she gave me a big hug and said I looked amazing. We chatted and we became friends, swapped numbers and we said would meet again. 

Next morning was my last in Blackpool... I was heading home but I had time to kill, I went back to the Sealife Centre and to see my new friend, she recognised me instantly despite me being in boi mode, she let me go in and have a look around again. When I got back we added each other on Facebook and that sealed the friendship. 

My coach arrived and it was time to leave, I sat down and a beautiful lady sat across from me, we caught each others eyes and we smiled. I had to change coach at Manchester and so did she, we started to chat and I told her my story, she was so supportive and said we should meet up again and go clubbing. I didn't hesitate and said yes. We got in the coach and the whole journey we looked across at each other. I had made another friend and it was good.

I got off at Golders Green and said my goodbyes, the lady blew me a kiss and said message me anytime, we swapped Instagram profiles so we could stay in touch.

Another successful weekend was achieved.. where to next... My brain ticked...

Heartbreak but Loyalty will show its true colours

Yo u stick by your friends through the good and bad... Don't let outside influences get to you... So the dust was still settling after my 40th birthday celebrations and things were going great... but then something changed. One of my long-term friends that had supported me through my split and was a huge supporter of me cut me off and made excuses. She had told me her partner was not very understanding about LGBTQ and told her not to make contact with me or anyone like that. I was distraught and felt dumped. I turned to the one person that I knew would be nonjudgmental to me. I messaged my friend of over 12 years and said I had something to tell her, we were always upfront with each other and had been there through thick and thin. I called her and told her about what had happened and then told her about Tammy, no hesitation she said that was a beautiful thing and I'm sticking by you no matter what happens. We must of been on the phone 2 hours or so, but it was meant to be. We a...

A brief hiatus but it's for the good

So I had settled into my new job and my times had lessened where I could be the girl I had chosen to be. My relationship with my then partner was getting rocky and we decided to part... I fell in love again and started to settle down... But deep within someone was bursting to come out in the open... I joined twitter and made connections with like minded people, forged friendships and decided to take a bold step, I became friends with a very supportive lady who actually saved me on 2 occasions later in that year. The bold step was probably my best decisions. I got to meet people and feel at ease. One day in July 2019 was world sunk as my relationship came tumbling down. I knew this was a sign that this was to be my opening. In the mean time I started to socialise with my saviour once a month and felt a kind of happiness not felt before. I met 2 other ladies who would also become very close friends too. I had a conversation with a lovely lady from Glasgow, who was so warming to me and I ...
