Well I'm facing my first Xmas alone as Teresa . Those who have followed my story may recall I took the step very quickly to inform my surrounding neighbours about my TG situation . The guy across the road is in full view of my coming and going and also of my TG friends . The lovely lady on my RH side chatted to me while her granddaughter talked to my dog . The couple in my LH side are more reclusive but have parts of their garden that overlooks mine so they have seen me in many outfits while gardening and sun bathing . None of them have given me any problems so I popped to the shops today and bought some gift bags , bunches of pale pink roses and some reasonable wine . In each of them I wrote out a Xmas card wishing them a happy Xmas and thanking them for being understanding neighbours and then stood the bag on their doorsteps while they were out shopping . Apart from the lady on my RH side she was in so I handed her the bag , she was very grateful but I replied I'm the one who is grateful .
I don't expect anything in return , I appreciate what they have done for me or to rephrase that what they haven't done for me meaning they could have made my life difficult . I don't think it's a huge price to pay to show how I feel .
