• Childhood Mammaries

  by Rachel de Blanc May 13, 2017
  Hi. I am visiting my parents who are now distant from home and feel further away than ever as they age, but we are still close. As an opportunist and whilst they are out I do something that I haven't done for possibly thirty years, I look into my mother's wardobe.. Don't be alarmed, no Vera Batty m...

• I feel, it's gone

  by Rachel de Blanc May 11, 2017
  Hi I haven't blogged for a while, so my apologies for that. I've voyeuristically visited her and take delight a seeing names of friends that I recognise and I look with absolute wonder as I see people journey from timidity and concern to open, confident realisation of their true self. That's lovely...

• I run, you run, we are running

  by Rachel de Blanc March 17, 2017
  Hello I run. I do so because it keeps me sane, keeps me healthy and gives me space. I have been running throughout the 'Winter' which has been mild and quite dry here in London and I am missing the acidic crisp January mornings that heightened my senses and kept my on my toes. As winter turns...

• She's gone, and it feels like she's lost too

  by Rachel de Blanc May 7, 2016

What was evident to me (no doubt to others too as I'm no Sherlock Holmes) was that this person was Transgendered. I was delighted to receive correspondence from my employer that confirmed that this ne...

• Cat and Mouse

  by Rachel de Blanc May 30, 2015
  So the Cat's away and the little mouse is out and about (in the house..)A first time for me, I purchased some false nails and set about setting about. Although the glossy grey colour was OK and a little morbid, I thought I'd finish them off with a top coat or two of something glossy. Time consuming...

• An Hour

  by Rachel de Blanc May 30, 2015
  Hi. Those with memories and perhaps mammaries will remember that I recently 'purged' and disposed of clothing and other things that gave me spirit and life. Correction, I do have spirit and life of course, but the items I threw enabled the female version to come to the fore. This evening, during ...

• Wardrobes have doors

  by Rachel de Blanc March 14, 2015
  Hi. I'm post purge, pre-shop. Tick-tock, tick-tock. During an intensive period of gender anxiety in September of last year I found the courage - or lost the battle, and contacted a Therapist with the intention to commence a conversation. Having never participated in therapy previously I couched my...

• New Year Diary

  by Rachel de Blanc December 30, 2014
  Happy New Year, well almost..   I recall a time when Christmas presents included the receipt of a small, pocket-sized diary into which you scribbled family birthdays and lists of christmas presents received. Like me you may well have religiously maintained a diary throughout the new year list...
