Have fun.

I’ll second that. You will be self conscious at first but that passes quickly.

I think we need to stop talking about gender. I am a man who wears a dress, pure and simple; this has no effect on my gender or masculinity. In the words of one of my sons ‘you’re just the same as you always were’.

Talk about gender moves the issue from where it should be.

A couple of weeks ago, in Tesco, a man passed behind me and muttered ‘nice dress’ as he went by.

He reminds me more of a pantomime dame than just a man in a dress.

It’s the visual equivalent of a dad joke.

While I keep some coins in the car in case I encounter a parking machine that doesn’t use an app I never carry any and so don’t need a purse.

Probably getting my hand down the toilet bowl to remove the brown and smelly after one of my offspring has ‘logged’ it.

Pretty used as an adjective is a lazy option. It’s a non-word, like nice and good descriptive writing should avoid it.

At this time of year I tend to wear a coat or top, which will hold all my stuff and makes a bag unnecessary. When it gets warm enough to do without a top I use a bag - a black cross body bag. I think that if you’re wearing a dress, the addition of a bag is neither here nor there. With a skirt I migh...

Patterns, floral or otherwise. That it’s enjoyable not to be invisible in public. I get more smiles than sc...

Forever young man! Forever young!

That goes without saying; you don’t need to dress like a teenager to stay young but do enough exercise throughout your life to achieve this. Dressing like a teenager is more the stuff of the midlife crisis.

Urban outfitters have shops in every major UK city. My offspring buy clothes there. They are well overpriced and the target market seems to be teenage to mid 20s. Not for old giffers in skirts and dresses, like us.
