It was thirty years ago today...

...Sergeant Pepper told the band... whoops, and who said modern culture isn't pervasive?

Thirty years ago today I turned up in work as I really was, no not a dormouse - doh; a woman. I was very fortunate that everyone was so supportive and it was a nine days wonder. Looking back, I suppose I've stayed lucky in keeping in reasonable health and mostly being in work to now, although still working, it's only three days a week so I have a little more time to do some of the things I've wanted to do for a long time but had neither time nor money. So I can pursue my interests in ecology and conservation to the point of starting a degree in the autumn and my application for a dormouse licence before that.

I've made lots of friends through my writing and posting here and elsewhere, through my natural history interests and cycling. To all of you I say thank you and I hope to know you for many more years. I'll leave you with a bit of irony which I have mentioned before, probably because old people repeat themselves, I worked hard to be able to not have to wear trousers to work and wore skirts and dresses quite a lot, these days I wear trousers 99% of the time because they're easier. That reminds me, I went to buy some camouflage trousers but couldn't see any.
