I've upset the gods

[Helen_Highwater]

As I posted before, I had to cancel a week away in last November due to my SO undergoing knee surgery. So I re-booked for a week in March that would enable me to include a night at a support group and meet up with a few I've known for some years now. Well family demands have again arisen and my services are required that week. Thankfully I'd paid a little extra both times so I was able to cancel the accommodation without any great financial loss.

Also, luckily, I hadn't posted about my usual offer of acting as chaperone to anyone thinking of going out or meeting others from our community for the first time and haven't the need to offer another grovelling apology.

I have now been able to re-re-book accommodation for a week earlier in March and so I'm hopefully now in a secure position, unless the gods have really taken a dislike to me, to offer one of Helen's all inclusive, fully tailored, hardly any expense made, meet-ups in Manchester's Gay village.

When I hear you cry. Wednesday 12th March say I. Debs who has joined me for the past few years and I will be in Manchester from about midday. So we can take you shopping, to a welcoming wig salon to get the barnet of your dreams, fancy riding on a tram? Or perhaps just meet us for a night in a LGBTQ friendly pub or three. We try to make thing suit you.

So come on you newbies or those longing to take that step over the threshold in a safe environment. Sign up today.

Or, if reticent, let me know what it would take for you to take that step. Logistics I can understand but what else holds you back? Let me know and perhaps we can find a way to calm your fears. Those who have gone before you have all had an enjoyable experience. Stay overnight, Debs can keep you company the following day and we can advise on suitable hotels.

Would love to join you Helen, but still planning for my first public outing to be with my wife in May.
Assuming that after that she's happy for me to go out en femme again (how badly would it have had to have gone for her to say "no" I wonder?) then I'd definitely be up for joining your next Manchester trip - whenever that would happen to be.

Helen, its about time to, lol. Ive booked my room for the night at the usual hotel. If any of you girls want to stay over PM me for details, Helen does go home about midnight, but I can assure you I dont, lol, will be out clubbing into the late morning, so you can go to bed or hit the clubs and pubs with me. Its a great opportunity to be out dress and in a safe enviroment, so come on girls, its shopping in the afternoon and pubs and clubs at night.

My wife and I would love to join you ladies one day, maybe even that date, we already go to a trans social night at a hotel in Lincoln once a month. We stay over. Last time we went shopping before checking in en femme. I also drove home the next day en femme. There are around 30-40 that go, some with wives and partners, it?s really welcoming and perfect for a first time out as the event is a private event in a function room at the hotel. If anyone wants details I can pass them on, next meeting is 14th Feb. I have my red dress ready and having a professional makeover in my room as a treat.
I have messaged you back regarding this Debs, not sure if you had seen x
