*-* ..^.. well folks we finally managed to get Claire Jane out of the house dressed for the very first time on Friday night ----- A drive to a nearby country park, a short nervous walk in pitch black, took a few pics that are totally naff (we forgot the digital camera so only got a few on the camera phone). Next time we will plan it better I sort of decided that I was going to take her out Friday night for a drive as a surprise so couldn't make to many plans in case she put her foot down and said no way.

She was pretty nervous but did enjoy it, Startled rabbit syndrome every time car headlights came towards us and you should have seen her face when I had to stop at a roundabout in a lit up area and there was a man waiting to cross the road ..OO..

Lord what a long way we have come in three months.

((G)) to all who have helped on this journey so far

Oh let me tell you how scared I was my first time out. We went and joined a Tri-Ess group and that evening was a dinner at a very nice place. Oh gost I just knew everyone in the join knew I was a man in a dress. But low and behold nobody said a word or even stared during dinner. I will say after that evening I was in girl heaven for a week. :P

Congratulations Jess! I still vividly remember my first foray outside in much the same way you described. You'll never forget it but we all have to start somewhere. Keep this post handy so you can look back on it come the day you and Claire Jane are proudly walking through the park during the daytime. Well done!

Jess I think that was incredibly nice of you to do. I hope Clair Jane did something equally thoughtful in return.

Glad you enjoyed it.

It was all the excitement, poor dear! That wasn't necessarily easy for either one of you, but you made it work! Good luck on the next time out.
