I’ve written before about how my relationship with my body has changed since my surgery. Recently, it’s been noticing that I’ve put on a bit of weight and writing about that – not wanting a shapeless blob to take away from my new found confidence.

I’ve also written about a trip to a gay sauna and a nudist beach – things I don’t feel that I could have done before my surgery.

My husband has also observed that I like being naked now – even when I’m not naked, I’ll lounge on the sofa with my bit on display!

I’ve recently discovered that there’s a part of our garden that’s sunny and secluded. There is one neighbours window that I can see, but I doubt they could see me through the wisteria.

I have popped a deckchair there a couple of times and enjoyed the sun on my whole body. That’s unusually daring for me!

Not that I care as much as I used to anyway – I can hear the occasional car or person in the lane behind the garden: I enjoy the feeling of risk, that, if they were nosy they could jump up and see me.

I’ve even given myself a system’s test in that little secluded spot! That was fun! 😉 Of course, it was purely in the scientific interest! 😇

A little bit of delicious deviance in my quintessentially English back garden.
