Dec 30th

Almost New Year. I really wonder what 2011 will bring. 2010 has been a crazy roller-coast ride for me - with more treatment for prostate cancer on the downside and amazing dressing and outing experiences as Sarah for me on the up.
The whole dressing thing keeps growing stronger and more compulsive. Its like bread dough rising as the yeast ferments; you can't see it swelling but every time I take a peek, its got a bit larger. No, I'm not referring to my sexual organ but the way the "hobby" has taken over my mind ! I guess most of you reading this have gone through the same experience but the problem is "where to next ?"
I don't have any desire to transition but I would like the freedom to become the girl of my dreams whenever I want - and that can only happen if I live alone. If I were to tell my wife, it would all come crashing down but if we separate, perhaps I can achieve what I desire. Our relationship has been unsatisfactory fo years but when I raise the issue of separation, she avoids the subject, suggesting that she doesn't want it but not saying so directly. She is often quite verbally abusive but I still have feelings for her and since I have soft heart, I would feel sorry for her if she was unhappy. Its quite a dilemma.
Meanwhile, I take what opportunity I can to express my femininity. The most recent - a couple of days ago - was a window of only a few hours. Since my stash is well hidden and quite a mission to get out and repack afterwards, I used some clothes of hers and my daughter that are stuffed away in drawers and rarely used. I didn't bother with a bra or falsies and used minimal make-up. Luckily, I am keeping my wigs more readily available in a locked hand-luggage case that I take on travels. In this way, I was able to produce some new pictures which (with a little help from Adobe Photoshop)seem to prove that I don't need to go overboard to transform. It is quite scary but I feel like the characters in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde; when after a time, the transformation seems to happen by itself - without the need to take the potion !

Dec 28

So Christmas is over and all our relatives, guests and visitors who were here mainly for the wedding, have left. The house is quiet again but my wife is still quite ill from 'flu that was brought here by two of the visitors. I didn't escape entirely but mine was just a heavy cold and has now gone.
It's very hot here in South Africa today - well up in the thirties (centigrade). I am sitting in an air-conditioned room to write this, wearing only shorts. The lovely dress that my wife wore for the wedding hangs temptingly close by but there is no chance at all to dress as Sarah and it is quite frustrating. Here is a picture of that dress when I did get a chance to slip it on last week

Dec 22nd

Its a while since I began to blog but I have an excuse - my daughters wedding last Thursday. Things have been quite hectic, as you can imagine and we have had a house-full of relatives from overseas staying here. They have mostly left now but an aftermath is that my wife and I have developed the rather nasty cold that some of them brought with them from a frozen Europe. Returning to the UK has also not been plain sailing for the visitors because Heathrow airport in London had major disruptions due to the extremely cold weather.
The wedding was a great success though, and we were complimented by all the guests on a splendid party.
After it was all over and my daughter and her new husband had gone on honeymoon, her wedding dress (which I had bought for her)was left at my house and so, while everyone was out, the other evening, I took the opportunity of seeing if I could wear it. With minimum time available and no chance to get out any jewellery or shoes, I applied a basic make-up and my latest hair style and took a few pictures. They have been posted on Flickr and elicited an amazing response

At last, I have found out how to add the link to my Flickr photos. :-

I'm learning the ropes of the new bloggers world and hope to have more to say very soon

December 9 2010

I am venturing out at last into the world of literature; this new world where anyone can become an author and publish his or her thoughts, ideas, feelings, hopes and dreams.  A world where I can write as much or as little as I like, when I like or not at all.  A world where my scribblings may be read by nobody at all or by huge numbers.  The concept is quite mind-blowing and I havn't a clue yet how I will begin.
The strange thing is that as a man, I havn't bothered to do this but because I have become more and more embroiled in my transgendered self, as Sarah I really want to communicate.
I should also add that I have been encouraged to do so by some wonderful new t-girl friends that I have made through Flickr and that is where you will find more about me together with hundreds of photographs all posted under the name sarah.rose34.
