Hi! I'm retired. I've always worked since I left school, where my best subjects were Geography, and History, but I seemed to have a mental block where Maths was concerned. I wasn't too bothered about my education, as there was always jobs available in those days, of the type I expected to go into. I worked as an Apprentice Bricklayer for 18 months then went to sea, firstly on Liners and then on Tankers. Had my three Gay experiences while on liners, and didn't like it. Made the most of my time off while at sea whoring and drinking and had a fantastic time. Later joined the Civil Service, got married, had two kids, now in their 30s. got divorced Left that job in 93, Worked as a Night Porter in a hotel for over 4 years and stopped drinking. I never touch a drop now. Worked on ferries after that for about 12 years, before retiring early with ill health. I suffer from COPD, and am now happily retired. In privacy at home, I love cross dressing, and spend most of my spare cash on it. I like anything pretty and feminine, except for anything constrictive. Slips, panties, blouses, skirts, dresses and so on. Favorite fabrics are Chiffon, Nylon and Satin. I have a small circle of friends, none who know what I get up to at home, and would be pretty shocked if they did know I think :o) I like to travel. Toured Australia for three months earlier in the year, in Camper vans. Had a great time, but missed my "Dressing" The first thing I did when I got home after very long and tedious flights was put the kettle on and slip into something comfortable. I'm hetero, and not looking for a relationship. I'm overweight and smoke, and would look stupid in anyone else's eyes. I'm comfortable with my self though. My stories are about men like me, loners but, who have loving hetero relationships with women who understand. That's very unlikely to happen in the real world I guess. I believe strongly that a relationship should be based on love not on lust. Old fashioned attitude I guess :o) I got interested in ladies clothes in a big way about fifteen years ago. I saw a picture of a very pretty young lady in a pink prom dress, followed a link to a site that showed nothing but ladies in formal gowns and dresses. I thought they looked lovely, and spent days looking through the pictures. I picked out what I thought were the best, and saved them to my computer. I still have them. :o)
Interests Computer, travel, reading older novels Crime, fantasy, etc written in the fifties and sixties. Dressing, Country walks, Writing for this site, good pub food, well dressed women, undressed women. pretty women, Photography and videoing, of the normal type, holiday snaps and video's for example, NOT anything of a sexual nature. Anything Australian.
Favorite Books "Lord of the Rings" & "Hitchers guide to the galaxy" Not read that for many years now though. "The Capilan Of Malta" Michiners "The Source" "The Political, Social and Economic Development of Inner Mongolia in the Eighth Century" (If you believe that, you'll believe anything! LOL)

Favorite Movies "Two for the Road" "Blow UP" Almost anything with Doris Day. Big budget war movies, Big budget "Ben Hur" or biblical type movies. some low budget Film Noir movies. Some porn movies from "X Hamster. "Rear Window" "North by Northwest" Foreign films (Non English Language) if they have a good write up on TV, and they can be low budget. I can learn about different societies by looking at these films.
