Our Vacation

Well I am writing this blog from Sunny Cromer in Norfolk.
We have been blessed with great weather so far and have managed 3 beach days, including sun burn!
I have braved the North Sea (admittedly with my wet suit on over my swimsuit!) and the kids have done the same.
They have enjoyed rock pools, arcades and the mini fair this town has to offer. (My son being 11 nearly 12 tries to hide his pleasure at the mini rides on offer as it would not be cool to do anything else lol)
I have been me the whole time from getting home Friday night and have not had an issue anywhere.
The kids are getting used to calling me Lisa when out and about, which reduces any chance of me being outed.
I feel so at home everywhere I go and am even gaining some confidence when I have to talk with people. (That said I think I need a couple of voice coaching lessons.)
The funniest thing was today at the mini fair on the promenade here, all 3 of my kids were on the mini egg cup ride and I was about to take a photo of them. The man who was running the rides told my kids to look at MUM so I could take the photo. We all smiled, even my wife!
We visited Great Yarmouth yesterday and spent the day on the funfair and walking around the town. It was the ideal day, blue skies with a few clouds and a comfortable warm temperature.
I took the kids for a game of putting today at the putting green. After 9 holes my youngest went to sit with Mum. After 11 holes my other daughter sat with MUM. After 13 holes I was on my own playing with all 4 balls!!
I couldn’t believe it. I remember vividly playing putting for hours with my brother, sister and Dad when I was a kid! We all loved it. Seems it is not passed down in the genes.
Tomorrow we are getting the train to Norwich as I haven’t been there for years. Hopefully it will be another good day.
I mentioned my wife was not sure if she would come or not in the last blog, but I think she is glad she has.
Her and all 3 of my kids have seen that they have no need to worry when they are with me as I really have not had 1 problem at all.
It has given them all a lot of confidence.
The kids all refer to me in the female tense now and I am so happy they are dealing so well with it.
I have a feeling this could be the last family holiday we all have together with both my wife and I here together so it is pleasing we are having a good one.

Not sure what the next few months hold on many fronts and when I get back I will write more about some of the changes in my relationship with my wife.
One thing is for sure and that is that I am not missing the stress of coming out at work one little bit.
