Another friend down the pan! when will this all end? am I going to have no expat friends near me now? I have no clue as to what to expect next. The latest Developement happened this last Saturday, every year we have an "End of year lunch" this is totally free and funded by our village hall it is only for those of retirement age, I have mentioned previously about the friends I have round me well one couple who have been good to me and I thought were totally on board with me now I am thinking a little differently. A while ago the nearest of my ex pat friends saw me dressed in town and I had coffee with him (Steve) he told me then he was abpout 99% Ok with things now whether he has spoken to another expat (Paul) I think possibly because this last Saturday at the end of year meal I happened to sit next to Paul who I greeted as I normally do but the conversation dwindled right away and he spoke to me no more! even when the meal had finished he did not say goodbye or anything but his wife gave me a kiss on the cheek plus these last three Saturdays I have not seen them at my brasserie.
I feel I have lost another friend but hope not.
It seems to me that it is the GG's that look to be accepting of us, all of the women I know are OK ether seeing me dressed or know I dress.
I maybe reading this wrongly but I feel I am on a slippery slope here, but for me there is and never will be any turning back from where I am now with my dressing within my community here.
I will have to wait and see.
