• Whirlwind

  by Lucy Diamond August 2, 2011
  I don't know what's happened these last few weeks. It's quite possibly been the best month of my life. When is it all going to come crashing down upon me? It surely can't keep up like this... My bezzie mate Gillian has been off work for 3 weeks, so we've spent a lot of time together as my band have...

• Space Cadet Glow

  by Lucy Diamond July 4, 2011
  "So ya, thought ya, might like to go to the show, To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow..." And so it was this week that I had the privilege of feeling the warm thrill of confusion, seeing Roger Waters perform "The Wall" live at the M.E.N. Arena. By way of Catharsis I fe...

• Scarlet woman

  by Lucy Diamond October 31, 2009
    I have now been taking oestrogen for five years and one day, seemed like a bit of a milestone, so… It’s going, kind of how I expected I guess. My breasts have been feeling a bit tender again recently so maybe I’m just starting on another growth splurge. I think developm...

• Magical Journeys

    Today is my second birthday, rebirthday of course. 2 years of being happy with my new body, which is no longer new, it’s just, my body. I gave myself a bit of a rebirthday present by flying to Germany last week to see my favourite musician of the last 25 years or so, Andreas Vollenwei...

• Vive La France

  by Lucy Diamond September 18, 2009
    Just been catching up with the latest blogs and see that Marsha has stolen my title, well almost, but I thought of it first! So, I’ve just been to France as promised, with my mate Gillian. The naturist resort we stayed at was lovely, all wooden chalets set in a pine forest, a few minu...

• Sparkle debrief

  by Lucy Diamond July 31, 2009
    So long since I blogged I thought I’d better read my last one before I wrote this, see where I’d got up too. So apparently at a gig I turned down a guy 20 years younger, well, he really was too drunk, and not my type, but I seem to have made up for it at Sparkle… I was w...

• An offer I couldn't refuse

  by Lucy Diamond April 27, 2009
    Some lovely comments following my last blog, thanks everyone, and especially to my mum who is the best mum in the world, has been an absolute rock in my journey, including travelling to Thailand with me and looking after me on our return, and all along in fact. I love her to bits. Mum, you a...

• In my place (still)

  by Lucy Diamond February 22, 2009
  Thought I’d do a quick blog as today is a momentous anniversary, well, kind of… It’s five years to the day that I joined Trannyweb. It is completely surreal to think back to how my life was when I joined, "looking for others like me" as we so often see in the "Welcome New Member...

• I’m thinking a sort of goth/hippie-influenced pseudo-classic ro

  by Lucy Diamond January 28, 2009
  It’s been soooo long since I blogged, but I really haven’t had the time in the last few weeks. Some time ago we had a drummer standing in for ours as he had a wrist injury. The stand-in drummer had started his own band early last year, so I gave him the old, "If you ever need a keyboard...

• Feelin' Irie

  by Lucy Diamond December 1, 2008
  I am struggling a little with the cold in this country, but I’ve only myself to blame; it doesn’t help to go jetting off to Jamaica where it’s in the 80’s every day and arrive back to sub-zero temperatures. It’s still very pretty here though, in a different sort of way;...
